Morning, folks!
Hope everyone had a great weekend and that everybody eligible gets their butt in front of a vaccine this week.
The Edmonton Oilers will welcome the Montreal Canadiens to Rogers Place tonight for the first of two in three nights, looking to squeeze a few points from a team that has mostly dominated them so far this season. Stay tuned for our typical GAMEDAY coverage.
Also, since its Monday, wheel it back around for lunchtime as the newest episode of the Copper and Blue Podcast is set to drop.
A story from yesterday afternoon (hey, it was Sunday, those episodes aren’t going to binge themselves):
#Oilers roster moves

Ryan McLeod has been recalled to the taxi squad from the @Condors!
The 21-year-old forward has tallied 14 goals, 14 assists & is +23 in 28 games with Bakersfield this season. #LetsGoOilers pic.twitter.com/sx8SrrdoiW
LFG.
Tyler Benson, who also should have been recalled by now (along with Cooper Marody, probably), had this to say in support of his teammate:
