With Nurse going on injured reserve, Mark Fayne, who was on waivers a week ago but was recalled when Eric Gryba was hurt in practice, will play his first game since injuring his knee against Carolina Oct. 18. He only played 2:27 in that game. Fayne will likely play with Oscar Klefbom. Matt Benning will be with Andrej Sekera.
The Oilers also recalled defenceman Dillon Simpson from the Bakersfield Condors as a seventh guy. Brandon Davidson (shoulder) is skating and practising but is a week to 10 days from playing. He could find his way into the top six when deemed ready, too.
Just one more reason for Craig Simpson to cheer during the broadcast.

so Gryba, Nurse and Davidson are out and Fayne pretty much hasn't played in months, and Reinhart still can't get a sniff? Wow. Not that's it's that surprising because his lack of speed really hurts him in today's NHL, but still, what a way of burning two high draft picks. Might as well have made the picks and ruined them Oilers style, at least that would have sold some hope to the fanbase for a year or two until everybody realized they're poo.
The Isles probably still can't stop giggling. Beauvillier is already playing in the NHL and Barzal is going to be a good one.
