Puljujarvi got a 28-game trial with the Oilers last season but had just a goal and eight points and was eventually sent down to the Condors. There, he registered 12 goals and 28 points through 39 games.

While he did have a two-goal game in the preseason and tried to win a spot heading into 2017-18, he was lacklustre, and ultimately started the year with Bakersfield. In 10 games with the Condors so far, Puljujarvi has racked up a goal and five points.
Considering the Oilers haven’t seen much success or offence so far this season, they need any kind of help they can get, and the Finnish winger was a viable option.
