Tyler Pitlick spent seven years in the Edmonton Oilers organization after he was drafted 31st overall in 2010. Pitlick made his NHL debut during the 2013-14 season with the Oilers, and if not for injuries he likely would still be a member of the franchise today.

Stephen Johns out against Oilers, Greg Pateryn likely to make season debut
Stephen Johns will miss Thursday’s game against the Edmonton Oilers with an upper-body injury. Johns was injured on a high hit by Matt Duchene in a 5-3 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday.

This game held a familiar script as noted Stars stopper Semyon Varlamov (.919 SV%) turned in a quality start for Colorado and led his team to a 5-3 victory. Perhaps even more important was the loss of Stephen Johns […]
