Oilers Loan Matt Savoie to AHL for Olympic Break Game Reps

Edmonton Oilers forward Matt Savoie was loaned to the AHL's Bakersfield Condors during the Olympic break to ensure he stays sharp and gets meaningful game time. This move is not a demotion, as the NHL season is paused until February 25th. The 22-year-old, a 2022 ninth overall pick, has held his own in the NHL this season with nine goals and nine assists in 58 games. He is expected to rejoin the Oilers for their game against Anaheim on February 25th.
