The Edmonton Oilers have placed Joakim Nygard and Kris Russell on injured reserve, while recalling Tyler Benson and William Lagesson. Nygard is out with a hand injury that “could be a serious” one according to head coach Dave Tippett, while Russell has been placed in the concussion protocol. This will be Benson’s first call-up to the NHL.
Would like to see the kid Benson in Oilers uniform as is first shot with the big boys maybe with McDavid , Draisaitl , as heard lot of good stuff on him and high prospect as read his stats in WHL & AHL and looks pretty good in numbers
