McLeod has scored one goal with four assists (five points) in seven games with Bakersfield this season. He'll replace Devin Shore on the roster with Shore landing on IR. McLeod has registered just one assist in 12 career NHL games.

McLeod was selected in the second-round (No.40) of this summer’s draft and enjoyed a strong training camp. The Oilers have plenty of depth down the middle, so McLeod returns to the Steelheads, where he had 70 points (26G / 44A) in 68 games last year.
