Ryan Rishaug dropped this bomb on Twitter:
Can confirm Petry is a completely healthy scratch tonight. Not injury related.
— Ryan Rishaug (@TSNRyanRishaug) October 14, 2014
and Dallas Eakins explained it like this:
Petry out vs Kings to get Nurse in. Says it's because had no camp and isn't up to speed yet.#oilers.
— Jim Matheson (@NHLbyMatty) October 14, 2014
and this:
"I highly doubt it would have been (Petry scratched) if he’d had a training camp and wasn’t that little bit behind right now." - Eakins

Petry's ice time shows that Eakins wasn't thrilled with the defenseman for some reason, though by most reviews he's been the Oilers best defender thus far:

The reaction on Twitter has been mostly rage:
Unbelievable. Incredibly stupid. "@TSNRyanRishaug: Can confirm Petry is a completely healthy scratch tonight. Not injury related." #Oilers
