1 year agoEdmonton Oilers goaltender Jack Campbell has been placed on waivers for the purpose of assignment to the American Hockey League's Bakersfield Condors. The Oilers will be on the hook for a $3.85 million cap charge if Campbell goes unclaimed on waivers which is extremely likely considering his salary and performance during his Oilers tenure. The 31-year-old signed a five-year, $25 million contract with the Oilers prior to last season but struggled to a 3.41 goals-against average and a .888 save percentage across 36 contests while losing the starting job to rookie Stuart Skinner. Campbell has posted a 4.50 GAA and .873 Sv% across five games for the struggling Oilers this season, going just 1-4-0 in the process. He will look to get his game turned around in Bakersfield while Cal Pickard is likely to be recalled to take his spot in Edmonton.

2 years agoEdmonton Oilers goaltender Jack Campbell made a relief appearance and finished with 27 saves in Sunday's 5-4 overtime victory against the Kings in Game 4 of the Western Conference first-round series. Campbell entered the game at the start of the second period as a result of starting goaltender Stuart Skinner allowing three goals on 11 shots and being pulled after the opening frame and the team trailing by three. Campbell had a strong performance as he allowed only one goal on 28 shots for the remainder of the game to help the Oilers even up the series. Campbell's strong relief outing could lead to a start in the next game as the series shifts back to Edmonton for Game 5 on Tuesday night.

2 years agoEdmonton Oilers goaltender Jack Campbell stopped all 36 shots on goal in Saturday's 6-0 victory against the Ducks. Campbell has struggled massively in his first season with the Oilers, but the 31-year-old managed to have a solid bounce back performance from his recent outings where he was giving up goals in large quantities. Campbell has a .886 save percentage and 3.48 goals against average on the season and he is not a recommended option for fantasy formats as he has been the backup to goaltender Stuart Skinner.

2 years agoEdmonton Oilers goaltender Jack Campbell will make his first appearance since March 4 when the team hosts San Jose on Monday. It's been a struggle for the 31-year-old during his first year in Edmonton and he has been riding the pine a lot in recent weeks, but Monday's matchup offers a great chance for Campbell to regain some confidence. The Sharks are one of the poorest offensive teams in the league and sit on a six-game losing streak. Campbell enters the game with a 17-9-4 record and will try to improve a 3.57 goals-against average and a .882 save percentage.
