The Edmonton Oilers are currently on the outside of the playoffs looking in. There's still plenty of time heading the second half of the season.
Unfortunately for the Oilers January hasn't been good to the Oilers so far and the Oilers are without goaltender Stuart Skinner who's left the team to be with his wife for the birth of their first child.
What's shocking is some Oilers fans are furious with Skinner because they feel he should of stuck with his team instead taking a short leave of absence.
The Oilers have called up backup Calvin Pickard to be Jack Campbell's backup tonight. The Oilers also called up Vincent Desharnais from the AHL to play his first game of the season tonight vs the Ducks and Desharnais seems pumped up for the opportunity.
