ROAD LIFE

SOUP’S ON
Jack Campbell was assigned to Bakersfield yesterday and is expected to make his Condors debut tonight. The 31-year old has gone 53-22-10 in the NHL since the start of the 2021-22 season. It is his second season in the Edmonton Oilers organization and his first appearance in the AHL since the 2018-19 season with Ontario.
LOCKDOWN

BIG ERNE

I’M JUST A HAMBLIN MAN
James Hamblin was recalled by the Oilers and played for Edmonton in Monday’s contest in Vancouver. He became the third Condors player to already play for the Oilers this season.
SHOOT IT
