Pelletier was acquired in a trade from the Calgary Flames on January 30th but missed four straight games due to difficulties with his visa. The 23-year-old Pelletier averaged 12:38 time-on-ice and had 11 points (4G / 7A) in 24 games with the Flames this season.

Savoie was at Oilers' practice on Tuesday, and his call-up is expected to be made official before Saturday's game. The 21-year-old was acquired in the Ryan McLeod trade this summer and he is second on the Bakersfield Condors (AHL) in points this season with 13 goals and 24 assists (37 points) in 45 games.
