As per The Edmonton Journal, the Oilers have claimed goaltender Alex Stalock on waivers from Minnesota.
With an emerging young goalie named Kaapo Kahkonen on the roster – and already having Cam Talbot entrenched on the roster as well as wanting to avoid a three-headed goaltending monster, the Wild put Stalock on waivers with the purpose of putting him on their taxi squad for goalie depth.
