Savoie made his NHL debut last season, playing one game with the Buffalo Sabres, but has not played since. The 21-year-old forward has been impressive at the AHL level this season, scoring 37 points (13G / 24A) in 45 games with the Bakersfield Condors.

The Oilers return to action on Saturday against the Philadelphia Flyers and will turn to Skinner between the pipes. The 26-year-old Skinner has had an up-and-down 2024-25 campaign, posting a 2.74 GAA and .900 SV% in 37 games (20-12-4).

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.

The Oilers are riding a two-game winning streak and will turn to Skinner between the pipes on Friday against the Colorado Avalanche. Skinner played well in his most recent outing, saving 20 of 22 shots (.909 SV%) in a 3-2 overtime win over the St. Louis Blues. The 26-year-old netminder has a .918 SV% in his last 22 games (14-6-2). The Oilers enter Friday's contest as -175 home favorites against an Avalanche squad that played last night, defeating the Calgary Flames 4-2.

Philp started the season with Bakersfield (AHL) before making his NHL debut with the Oilers, scoring two points (0G / 2A) in 12 games. The 26-year-old forward has 17 points (9G / 8A) in 28 games with Bakersfield this season.

Philp will be the odd-man out when the Oilers travel to Chicago on Wednesday. He'll sit in order to make room for the return of Adam Henrique (undisclosed).

Henrique will slot back into the lineup after missing Tuesday's game in St. Louis. Noah Philp will sit in his place.

Pickard will get the starting nod for the tail-end of Edmonton's back-to-back in Chicago on Wednesday. Pickard was excellent in his last outing, stopping 26 of the 28 shots he faced in a 4-2 victory over the Kraken on January 27th. Pickard boasts an impressive 13-4-0 record and a .901 SV% on the season. He's a good bet to stay in the win column on Tuesday as the Oilers enter action at -260 on the money line.

Philp will slot in for Adam Henrique, who was a late scratch on Tuesday. Philp has zero goals and two assists in 11 games this season.

Henrique was a late scratch on Tuesday, with the Oilers not announcing his absence prior to warmups. Noah Philp will draw into the lineup in his place.

Skinner will make his 36th start of the season when the Oilers travel to St. Louis on Tuesday. Skinner struggled his last time out, allowing four goals on 28 shots in a 4-3 loss in Toronto on Saturday. The 26-year-old netminder owns a 19-12-4 record and a .902 SV% on the season. He's a good bet to get back in the win column on Tuesday as the Oilers enter action at -170 on the money line.

Ekholm did not play in Edmonton's previous game but will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues. The 34-year-old defenseman has four points (1G / 3A) in his last four games.

The Oilers signed Klingberg to a one-year, $1 million contract two weeks ago and he made his Edmonton Oilers debut on Thursday, playing 16:39 time-on-ice, but did not practice on Friday due to an illness. It was his first game since undergoing hip surgery over a year ago after a brief 14-game stint with the Toronto Maple Leafs, where he scored five points (0G / 5A).

Ekholm has not practiced the past several days due to an illness but was able to play in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings. Assuming this is the same illness he has battled earlier this week, he will likely play on Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 34-year-old defenseman has four points (1G / 3A) in his last four games.

Ekholm did not practice on Wednesday due to an illness but will likely play against the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday. The 34-year-old Ekholm is averaging 22:45 time-on-ice and has 22 points (7G / 15A) in 50 games this season.

Stecher has played six straight but will be a healthy scratch on Thursday against the Detroit Red Wings. The 30-year-old Stecher is averaging 13:51 time-on-ice and has six points (3G / 3A) in 43 games this season.
