The 20-year-old spent last season with the OHL's Flint Firebirds, scoring 16 goals and 19 assists in 46 games with 108 penalty minutes. Clattenburg also had one goal and one assist in five playoff appearances." Philp has scored two goals and one assist in 15 games with the Oilers this season.

As was written in a previous post [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/edmonton-oilers/latest-news/how-seriously-should-oilers-fans-take-connor-clattenburg]: "Clattenburg isn’t going to win scoring titles or put up five goals in a season, and he knows it. His game isn’t about putting up points. It’s about being a pest, someone the Oilers haven’t had for a long time." Oilers Now host Bob Stauffer tweeted [https://x.com/Bob_Stauffer/status/1992021205453537577?s=20], "Will be very interested to see the energy that Connor Clattenburg brings for the @EdmontonOilers [https://x.com/EdmontonOilers].
