Injury update: Brule worked out for two straight days
Brule working out is a step in the right direction but he likely misses a few more games due to a concussion. He has three goals and seven points in 17 games.
Brule has eight goals and 18 points in 27 games with the Oklahoma City Barons of the AHL. Tough to see him make too much of an impact at the NHL level.
He’s also been on the wing where he can use his shot, but the coaches like him better in the middle as a fourth-line possibility. It’s the one roster spot that is pretty fluid right now. Is it Brule?
Following a poor offensive showing last season, Brule will need to earn a job on a checking line in Edmonton. Don't expect him to reach his numbers of two seasons ago as he will have very limited offensive minutes if he makes the team.
He says he’s hale and hearty as he starts his third Oilers’ training camp, and he’s never felt healthier at 185 pounds.
After a lost season, Brule looks to regain the scoring touch that produced 17 goals in 65 games during the '09-'10 campaign. In deeper leagues he could be a sleeper should he light the lamp in the preseason/early regular season.
