Tonight a new report has indicated that the Edmonton Oilers are expected to add reinforcements in the way of 10-year NHL veteran Derek Ryan. Earlier today reports began to surface that forward <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl/injuries/edmonton-oilers-lose-key-forward-to-injury' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Zach Hyman could miss time due to an injury suffered against the Islanders.</a> With Hyman's status now being in doubt the Edmonton Oilers are significantly underpowered up front due to injuries to other forwards including Evander Kane and Trent Frederic as well. Due to the sudden injury bug impacting the Edmonton Oilers it seems that GM Stan Bowman is planning to make a move and call-up Derek Ryan from the AHL Bakersfield Condors. <h3>Edmonton Oilers Expected To Call-Up Derek Ryan</h3> According to a report from Mike Griffith who covers the Edmonton Oilers AHL affiliate the Bakersfield Condors, it is expected that Derek Ryan will be re-called to the NHL. The move comes as the Oilers' roster needs depth and has struggled to find their scoring touch during recent losses. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/mikegriffith54/status/1900939301485244827'> </a></blockquote></div> Ryan,36, played 33 games in the NHL this season before being placed on waivers and sent to the AHL. While in the AHL Ryan has tallied an impressive 8 points in 13 games showing he still has what it takes to play at a high level. While Ryan won't bring a huge spark to the lineup he is an experienced and responsible player that will be able to step into the lineup without missing a beat. At the moment, the move has not been officially made but if the news regarding Hyman's injury ends up being confirmed by the organization a re-call for Ryan will likely follow shortly after. As more reports come in regarding Hyman's injury and Ryan's potential return to the NHL we will pass along the latest news.
