Two weeks of the National Hockey League (NHL) and American Hockey League (AHL) have been played. The Edmonton Oil Kings have a dozen graduates playing between the two leagues. Thirteen if you include the long term injured goaltender Laurent Brossoit, of whom we will exempt from the weekly check-ins unless there are updates to pass along on his recovery.
This past week included many milestones including Curtis Lazar's first game as an Oiler, Matthew Robertson's first NHL goal and Gracyn Sawchyn's first AHL goal. Let's see how everyone did!
NHL
| Curtis Lazar | Edmonton Oilers | "13th forward" drew into the lineup on the 18th scoring a goal against the New Jersey Devils (his most recent former team). |
| Kaiden Guhle | Montreal Canadiens | Bad news on this player: "the Canadiens announced the 23-year-old defenceman will be sidelined for four to six weeks with a lower-body injury suffered during Thursday night’s game" Yahoo News |
| Matthew Robertson | New York Rangers | Scored his first career NHL on October 18th. Played over 20 minutes on October 20th. |
