With Ryan Whitney and Jim Vandermeer on the shelf with ankle injuries suffered on the rutted Rexall Place ice, the Oilers have again dipped into the system to recall defenceman Taylor Chorney. The 23-year-old defender endured something of a baptism by fire with the last-place Oilers in last year's second half, but by all accounts has rebounded to play solid hockey with Oklahoma City so far in 2010-11. He has recorded 3-12-15 with an even plus/minus rating, a vast improvement on last season in which he achieved the rare feat of posting a +/- rating of -20 or worse in two different leagues.
