Overview

  • The Oilers announced Roslovic’s one-year pact at $1.5 million after he remained unsigned through the summer and missed training camp.
  • Head coach Kris Knoblauch said Roslovic will not play Saturday against Vancouver and plans to give him more practices before a likely debut on the upcoming New York trip.
  • Walman’s IR move, retroactive to the season start, came days after a seven-year extension and provided the temporary space to add Roslovic without an immediate corresponding move.
  • Roslovic scored 22 goals and 39 points last season and is expected to start as a depth scoring option with a chance to push higher while Zach Hyman is out on LTIR.
  • With Walman sidelined, Alec Regula filled the second-pair spot next to Darnell Nurse in the opener, and the team has not provided a firm return timeline despite Walman practicing this week.
