Ryan Keller News
According to tonight's Oilers game notes, the team has recalled forward Ryan Keller from Oklahoma City of the AHL.

Keller is likely a precautionary measure should Taylor Hall, or any other forward for that matter, not feel well enough to play tonight. Last game the team was forced to dress Theo Peckham as a seventh defenseman in order to field a full lineup.

“The way things are going (Oilers injuries), it might be the best way to make the team ... unfortunately we’ve had a lot of guys go down,” said Keller, with a large helping of empathy for Fedun’s catastrophic injury.

Keller moved to the blue line following the recent injury to Taylor Fedun. Last season he scored 32 goals and 51 points as a member of the Binghampton Senators, helping them win the Calder Cup. He could earn a spot on the team as he provides depth without needing to play.
