Oil Notes: RNH will return with full cage, Sutton debates calling it quits

Friday was not a great day for the Edmonton Oilers organization. Not only did the Oklahoma City Barons drop their third game of the young AHL season but they also lost the services of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, after he was clipped by a high stick during first period action. Which came on the heels of Jordan Eberle leaving practice earlier in the day and being a game-time decision because of a sore ribs.

There is no shortage of stories surrounding the Edmonton Oilers.

Oil Kings make it two in a row, with comeback victory

It had been just over three weeks since the Edmonton Oil Kings had last won back-to-back games, after starting the season on a three game winning streak.
