Moreover Edmonton signed veteran netminder Frederik Andersen as the offseason heats up. The deal is set up for rotating starts this season with the new coaching staff, 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 injury, which required an off‑season procedure, is fully healed and will not limit his performance going forward. He noted his goal is to help the Oilers push past the regular season hump to boost playoff chances for the championship chase.
