No word on who Petry replaces in the lineup or whether he is just insurance for another injured defenseman. While in the AHL, he registered an assist over two games.
Considering the Oilers dressed seven defensemen and still scratched Petry, the writing was on the wall. Expect him to come back should the team have any injuries.
Petry stays out of the lineup despite the team dressing seven d-men. Through three games, the former collegiate standout has no points with eight shots on goal.
Sounds like Petry will start the season on the team's top pairing. The former collegiate standout scored one goal and five points in 35 games last season.
