BREAKING: Oilers To Get Some Reinforcement Ahead of Tonight's Game

Today the Edmonton Oilers used an emergency recall to bring up forward James Hamblin. The Oilers can make this move because they played their last game with only 17 players. Now they will call up Hamblin with no hit against the salary cap.

#LetsGoOilers have recalled James Hamblin using the Roster Emergency Exception (REE).

The team played with only 17 skaters on Saturday against NSH because they didn't have the c/space to recall someone from the minors.

As a result, they can now recall a player a $0 against the cap.

The Oilers had been unable to call anyone up due to salary cap restrictions but now Hamblin will make his debut. Hamblin has 10 games of NHL experience in his career. He has not registered a point but will be looking to change that tonight.
