#Oilers have assigned defenceman Alex Plante to the Oklahoma City Barons of the American Hockey League
Plante did nothing to hurt stock and likely is the first callup from Oklahoma.
Line Change
Alex Plante, called up from the Oklahoma City Barons of the American Hockey League, will come out with Whitney back in the lineup.
The former 15th overall has not hurt his stock with solid play in two games. Expect him to get back into the lineup should the Oilers need another defender.
Line Change
Plante plays.
Plante figures to take Taylor Chorney's spot on the third defensive pairing. He only posted five assists in the AHL so don't expect a huge offensive upside from the big defender.

The following were assigned to Oklahoma City (AHL) today: Ryan Lowery (D), Olivier Roy (G), Philippe Cornet (LW), Tanner House (LW), Chris VandeVelde (C), Alex Plante (D), Milan Kytnar (RW), Curtis Hamilton (LW), Ryan Martindale (C), Tyler Pitlick (C)
No immediate fantasy hockey value in the AHL.
Line Change
He says he isn’t getting antsy that he hasn’t made the NHL yet, just getting the eight-game taste. The truth is, Plante looks like a guy who’ll be a No. 5 or No. 6 defenceman, a stay-at-home guy, if he does make an NHL roster.
Plante probably starts the season in Oklahoma City but could see some NHL playing time due to injuries. The stay-at-home defender scored two goals and 17 points in 73 games in the AHL last season. If he makes the NHL, he would likely be deployed in a shutdown role and won't affect your fantasy team unless you own an Edmonton goalie.
