Furthermore Edmonton signed seasoned netminder Frederik Andersen as the offseason heats up. The deal is set up for platoon starts this season with the new coaching staff, a change expected under new coach Kris Babcock. Andersen told TSN he will split time with 24‑year‑old starter Stuart Skinner to give the team flexibility. The 36‑year‑old said his chronic issue, which required an off‑season procedure, is fully healed and will not limit his play as he returns. He added his goal is to help the Oilers push past the regular season hump and add firepower for the championship chase.
