Oilers recall Bryan Pitton from Stockton

3

"General Manager Steve Tambellini announced today the Edmonton Oilers have recalled goaltender Bryan Pitton from Springfield of the American Hockey League. They have also reassigned Devan Dubnyk to Springfield. Pitton has appeared in 13 games this year with the Stockton Thunder of the East Coast Hockey League. He has a 4-7-1 record with a 3.28 GAA and .907 SV%. The 21-year-old netminder was called up to Springfield when the Oilers recalled Dubnyk last month." When I saw the headline I thought the worst, that JDD's knock from last night was a problem. Now I assume the opposite, that there's no way they would risk Bryan Pitton in an actual freaking game, so presumably they want to get Dubnyk some work and have a practice goalie for the big club. Indeed, Dubnyk may well be back by Tuesday. Exciting times for Bryan Pitton. I have to admit I never saw this day coming, ever.
