Jones, 27, has impressed with the Condors, scoring 5 goals and 7 points in 17 games. Walman, on long-term injured reserve with a deep bone bruise, could return for the December 18th game against the Bruins. Roslovic is expected back around Christmas after missing 5 games. Clattenburgs injury, sustained after being high-sticked, has caused vision issues. These moves have created $2.6 million in cap space, allowing the Oilers to potentially make more recalls before their five-game road trip starting this Saturday.
