The Oilers are preparing to face off against the Toronto Maple Leafs tomorrow where Oilers insider Bob Stauffer announced great news that Dylan Holloway, the oft injured forward will be returning to the team and playing on Saturday against the Calgary Flames.
The 22-year-old left winger is trying to get his season back on track as he has been plagued with injuries over the past couple of years. He sustained his latest injury in early November and has been sidelined ever since. Over the past 14 games, he's only scored one goal and a - 3.
The 2020 first round pick has been touted as a potential top six player when he was brought into the organization. And ever since returning to Bakersfield for his conditioning stint, he has looked promising and ready to play.
It will be the first time that he will be in the Kris Knoblauch system as he was injured around the time when former head coach Jay Woodcroft was fired. We will have to see where he will fit in the forward lines and see if he can make a difference.
The Oilers will be on the road when they face against the Flames which will be on Saturday January 20th and game time will be 10:00 PM eastern.
