Moreover Edmonton signed seasoned goalie Frederik Andersen on the first day of free agency. The deal is set up for shared duties this season under the new regime, a change expected under new coach Kris Babcock. Andersen told TSN 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 action moving ahead. He added his goal is to help the Oilers push past the regular season hump to boost playoff chances for the postseason push.
