Oilers demote Anders Nilsson to the minors

Edmonton Oilers goalie Anders Nilsson has been demoted to the Bakersfield Condors of the American Hockey League.

What It Means:

Nilsson has looked good at times this season, but he hasn't won a game since December 11, posting a record of 0-5-1 across 8 games. The Oilers called up Laurent Brossoit to take Nilsson's place on their roster.

Nilsson has struggled to a .901 save percentage and a 3.14 goals against average in 26 games played this season. He's only 25 years-old, but after posting a .900 save percentage and a 3.10 goals against average in 49 career NHL games, Edmonton may choose to move on from him.
