The Edmonton Oilers placed goaltender Jack Campbell on waivers Tuesday for the purpose of assignment, the team announced.
The 31-year-old netminder has struggled mightily to start the 2023-24 campaign, registering a 4.50 goals-against average and .873 save percentage through five games. Those numbers are a far cry from his career marks of 2.76 and .909, respectively.
Campbell is under contract through the 2026-27 season at a cap hit of $5 million.
The Oilers plan to call up Calvin Pickard from the AHL once Campbell clears waivers, according to Daily Faceoff reporter Frank Seravalli.
