Furthermore Edmonton signed veteran goalie Frederik Andersen to bolster its net. The contract is set up for platoon starts 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 while providing depth. The 36‑year‑old said his chronic issue, which required an off‑season procedure, is fully healed and will not limit his performance moving ahead. He noted his goal is to help the Oilers push past the regular season hump while strengthening the roster for the championship chase.
