The Oilers rested several of their regulars in their season finale on Thursday, allowing Broberg to draw into the lineup but he has been reassigned to the Bakersfield Condors. The 22-year-old Broberg scored 35 points (5G / 30A) in 48 games with Bakersfield this season.
Troy Stecher and Philip Broberg will draw into the lineup on Wednesday as the Oilers will rest Darnell Nurse and Cody Ceci in their penultimate game of the season. Broberg has yet to score a point in 10 games this season.
With trade talks speculating as a result of Broberg being unable to make an impact with the Oilers, he has been loaned to the Bakersfield Condors of the AHL. Broberg, the eighth overall pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, is averaging only 10:32 time-on-ice and has failed to record a point through 10 games this season. Benjamin Gleason has been recalled from Bakersfield to replace him in the Oilers lineup.
The Oilers are expected to dress seven defencemen on Monday as Broberg draws back into the lineup for the first time since November 2nd. Broberg has zero points in eight games this season, tallying six blocks and two hits while averaging 11:12 time-on-ice.
Broberg has been recalled from the AHL in addition to Adam Erne and Raphael Lavoie in moves corresponding to Mattias Janmark and Dylan Holloway being placed on the injured reserve. The 22-year-old Broberg has eight games with the Oilers this season, scoring zero points while averaging 11:12 time-on-ice.
Broberg dressed as a seventh defenseman for the Oilers on Thursday, recording a -1 plus/mins in only 5:46 time-on-ice, and has now been reassigned to the Bakersfield Condors of the AHL. Broberg has 11 points (2G / 9A) in 77 career NHL games, dating back to the 2021-22 season.
Broberg was sent to the AHL before the Oilers' season opener so Devin Shore could come up while both Kailer Yamamoto and Warren Foegele were hurt. With Yamamoto and Foegele back on the ice for Friday's practice, Broberg and Shore have swapped spots again.
Broberg failed to crack the opening night roster, so he'll start the season in Bakersfield (AHL) to make room for Devin Shore to be called up. Broberg had 23 points (4G / 19A) in 31 AHL games last season.
Broberg had one assist in his first eight NHL games. He was returned to the AHL for a short period of time, getting recalled to replace Kris Russell (upper-body) on the roster.
Broberg was the No.8 overall pick in the 2019 draft and came over to North America this season after two years in the SHL. The 20-year-old blueliner had 13 points (3G / 10A) in 44 games with Skelleftea AIK last year and has picked up 10 assists in his first 13 AHL games with Bakersfield.
Slater Koekkoek was hurt on Thursday, so Broberg will join the team in Edmonton and could make his NHL debut on Saturday. The 2019 eighth overall pick has picked up 10 assists in 13 AHL games this season.
