EDMONTON -- Dylan Holloway was recalled earlier this week.

That seems to have worked out for the Edmonton Oilers - their overtime loss to the Arizona Coyotes last night aside. He has been a welcomed addition to the team in the final stretch of the season.
Holloway has played well in the two games since he recall. He was rewarded with a goal against the Vegas Golden Knights - thanks to a heads up play around the net. In addition to the goal he has three shots and nine hits in the two games.
There is another Bakersfield Condors player who is playing exceptionally well right now - Philip Broberg.
Broberg has been down with the Condors since the beginning of March. He's been playing a ton of minutes in all situations. His defensive reads have been on point - and he is currently on a tremendous offensive tear.
The Condors played last night and Broberg scored an end-to-end overtime winner.
He starts with the puck behind his own blue line, carries it through his own zone on the right side, gains speed through the neutral zone and into the offensive zone, and snipes a wrist shot blocker side.
With that goal Broberg now has 11 points in his last eight games with the Condors. If the Oilers are serious about bringing him up before the playoffs begin - I imagine he should be recalled fairly soon.
