PLAYERS: Sheldon Souray,  Taylor Chorney,  Theo Peckham,  Dean Arsene,  Jake Taylor,  Alex Plante
TEAMS: Edmonton Oilers

Two sources (Flaming & Tencer) suggest that the Oilers will place Sheldon Souray on the IR today and recall young Taylor Chorney. The choice of Chorney (say that fast 5 times) isn't a shock but is worth mulling over. The obvious choice would be Theo Peckham (better overall fit for the Quinn Oilers) but his injury pre-TC set him back and he's just seeing Triple A game action.Also down on the farm are minor league veterans Dean Arsene and Jake Taylor, along with a plethora of youngsters that include Alex Plante and Johan Motin. Chorney is among the league leaders in scoring (4gp, 2-3-5, tied for 2nd among D, also with 2 PP goals) but is also bleeding at EVs. Here's the Falcon blue with their GP and plus minus numbers:Johan Motin 3gp, EJake Taylor 4gp, +1Theo Peckham, 2gp, +1Dean Arsene 4gp, -2Chris Armstrong 4gp, -3 Alex Plante 3gp, -3Taylor Chorney 4gp, -4Chorney's -29 a year ago was a damning stat and it looks like this team is still something of a disaster at EV...
