The Edmonton Oilers started the morning off by acquiring Tristan Jarry from the Pittsburgh Penguins. They sent defenseman Brett Kulak in the trade, which opened a spot on the d-core. They address that by acquiring defenseman Spencer Stastney from the Nashville Predators. The Oilers are sending a 2027 third-round pick to the Predators for Stastney. Stastney this season in 30 games has nine points, on a goal and eight assists. He’s a minus-one with 25 blocked shots and five total hits.
