Edmonton Oilers

The Edmonton Oilers have recalled defenceman Jordan Oesterle from the American Hockey League’s (AHL) Bakersfield Condors. - Team Release

New York Islanders

The moves comes after Halak started Thursday against the Wild and allowed 4 goals on 24 shots.

Islanders coach Jack Capuano was critical of Halak for allowing what he called "soft goals."

Halak has a 6-8-5 record, 3.23 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 21 games. He has another year remaining on his 4-year / $18 million contract.

Dallas Stars

Patrick Sharp has been given the clearance to return from a concussion.

The Stars forward last played Dec. 1 and is expected to play Saturday when the Stars host the Panthers. Sharp has a goal and one assist in 11 games this season.

Vancouver Canucks

The Canucks host the Ducks tonight.

San Jose Sharks

The Sharks host the Flyers tonight. San Jose has won three in a row.

Aaron Dell will get the call in goal for the Sharks. In his first NHL season, the 27-year-old has a 3-1-0 record, 2.16 GAA and .926 save percentage. This will be his 5th career NHL start. 

Philadelphia Flyers

Steve Mason starts in goal and rookie Travis Konecny will not play as he is a healthy scratch. Konecny had a pair of assists in a 6-3 loss to the Blues Wednesday. 

Flyers coach Dave Hakstol calls it a learning experience. Konecny has 4 goals and 18 points in 37 games this season.

Florida Panthers

Following Thursday's overtime loss to the Montreal Canadiens, Panthers head coach Tom Rowe said forward Aleksander Barkov will miss the next 2 to 3 weeks with a lower-body injury.

The 21-year-old suffered the injury during Wednesday's shootout loss to the Maple Leafs when he was hit by a shot fired by teammate Keith Yandle during the second period.

Barkov leads the Panthers with 27 points this year and had six goals and 12 points in his last 11 games.
