Petry feeling "under the weather" leading to Plante's recall from OKC but the move is precautionary, according to Coach Tom Renney
Consider Petry a game-time decision for tonight's game. The former collegiate standout scored a goal and five points in 15 games and was paired with Ryan Whitney last night. If he can't go, look for Alex Plante to enter the lineup.
Defenceman Jeff Petry has been recalled from Oklahoma City. Details to follow.
No word on who Petry replaces in the lineup or whether he is just insurance for another injured defenseman. While in the AHL, he registered an assist over two games.
I expect the Oilers to announce the assignment of Jeff Petry to OKC by the end of the day.
Considering the Oilers dressed seven defensemen and still scratched Petry, the writing was on the wall. Expect him to come back should the team have any injuries.
Petry stays out of the lineup despite the team dressing seven d-men. Through three games, the former collegiate standout has no points with eight shots on goal.
Sounds like Petry will start the season on the team's top pairing. The former collegiate standout scored one goal and five points in 35 games last season.
