Additionally Edmonton signed veteran goalie Frederik Andersen to bolster its net. The agreement is set up for shared duties this season under the new regime, a change expected under new coach Kris Babcock. He said he will split time with 24‑year‑old starter Stuart Skinner to give the team flexibility. The 36‑year‑old said his chronic setback, which required an off‑season procedure, is fully healed and will not limit his performance moving ahead. He added his goal is to help the Oilers push past the regular season hump and add firepower for the postseason push.
