The Oilers have acquired Patrik Puistola from the Hurricanes for Jesse Puljujarvi.

Puistola was a third-round pick of the Hurricanes in 2019, and he's remained in Finland. The 22-year-old winger leads Jukurit Mikkeli with 38 points (15G / 23A) in 56 Liiga games this season. This deal clears $3.0M in cap-space ahead of Friday's trade deadline.

The Hurricanes have acquired Jesse Puljujarvi from the Oilers for Patrik Puistola.

Puljujarvi is extremely useful play driver, that has had a very difficult time finishing his chances. The 24-year-old winger has scored just five goals on 88 shots (5.7 SH%) with nine assists (14 points) in 58 games this season. In Carolina, Puljujarvi will likely serve a bottom-6 role, with Seth Jarvis and Martin Necas ahead of him on the depth chart.
