Devin Shore

It’s a beautiful Saturday morning here in Edmonton and it’ll be a while before we’re able to watch our beloved Edmonton Oilers play hockey again, which has given me plenty of time to think about our boys and what’s going on in the NHL playoffs. DEVIN SHORE. I’m not going...

Another Thursday has landed on the calendar and that means a brand new episode of the Real Life Podcast is here and ready to get you set for the weekend. On today’s show, the guys covered their new intro, Chalmers coaching baseball, spoke to Trent Wilhauk from Wilhauk Beef Jerky, and a whole lot more.

The Edmonton Oilers signed forward Devin Shore to a two-year contract extension Wednesday. The deal carries an average annual value of $850,000. Shore, who was a pending restricted free agent, gets a yearly raise of $150,000 after inking a one-year pact with Edmonton for the league minimum in January. He produced five goals and four assists in 38 games with the Oilers this season.

Shore posted an assist, three shots on goal and three hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Jets in Game 3. Shore helped out on Jujhar Khaira's third-period tally. Sunday was Shore's first appearance in this series -- head coach Dave Tippett rotated some of his depth players after the Oilers mustered just one goal through the first two games of the series. The 26-year-old forward had nine points and 73 hits in 38 regular-season outings this year.

Shore (undisclosed) will return to the lineup Saturday against Vancouver, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports. Shore had missed the previous three games. He'll likely skate in a bottom-six role and look to build on his season total of nine points in 35 appearances.

Shore (undisclosed) isn't in the projected lineup for Thursday's game versus Vancouver, Jack Michaels of the Oilers Radio Network reports. Shore will miss a third straight contest Thursday, and the Oilers have yet to release an expected timetable for his return, so until that happens, he can be considered out indefinitely. The 26-year-old pivot has picked up nine points through 35 games this season.

Shore (undisclosed) won't play Tuesday versus the Canucks, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports. Shore was described as "banged up" by head coach Dave Tippett ahead of Monday's game. The 26-year-old Shore clearly hasn't healed up enough to be ready to go Tuesday.

Shore is "banged up" and won't play Monday against the Canucks, per coach Dave Tippett, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports. Shore will take a seat but the Oilers will get Juhjar Khaira (upper body) back from injury to fill a bottom-six center spot. Considering Shore has just nine points in 35 games this season, his status is unlikely to be of much concern to fantasy managers.

Shore scored an empty-net goal, dished out five hits and blocked three shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens. Shore saw 15:52 of ice time after Jujhar Khaira (upper body) left the game early. Shore is up to five goals, four assists, 22 shots on net, 52 hits and a minus-3 rating in 30 appearances. He may be set for a larger role should Khaira miss an extended amount of time.

Shore scored a goal on two shots and had two hits in a 3-1 win over Ottawa on Thursday. Shore deflected a Caleb Jones point shot to give the Oilers a 2-1 lead with 7:02 left in the third period. It was the fourth goal of the year for Shore, a bottom-six center known primarily for his defensive work, although he has lit the lamp twice in his last three games.

Shore scored an empty-net goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Jets. Shore gave the Oilers some insurance late in the third period. The 26-year-old is up to two goals, six points, 30 hits and a minus-2 rating through 20 contests. He's likely to continue seeing mostly bottom-six minutes.

Shore notched an assist in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Flames. Shore set up Josh Archibald's goal at 17:07 of the second period. The helper was Shore's second in six games since he re-established himself in the Oilers' lineup. The 26-year-old forward has five points, 27 hits and a minus-2 rating in 17 appearances.

Shore notched an assist in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Senators. Shore set up Jujhar Khaira on a 2-on-1 in the first period, and that goal ultimately counted as the game-winner. The assist gave Shore four points in 14 outings. He has 25 hits, six shots on goal and a minus-3 rating, as he typically serves a defensive role in the bottom six when he plays.

Shore was promoted to the active roster Saturday. Shore hasn't played in the last eight games, instead serving on the taxi squad. He's expected to replace Joakim Nygard in the lineup in a bottom-six role.

Edmonton Oilers forward Devin Shore cleared waivers Wednesday morning and will remain with the team. But another name popped up on the wire that has me wondering if the Oilers should put in a claim. For the second time this year, 25-year-old goalie Eric Comrie has found himself on waivers.

Shore had an assist and two hits in 8:34 of ice time in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Jets. While listed on the third line, Shore's usage was more realistically that of a fourth-line winger. He set up the first of Alex Chiasson's two goals in the contest before head coach Dave Tippett shuffled his lines to spark the offense. Shore is up to three points, 19 hits and a minus-2 rating in 11 outings. He's likely to bounce between the active roster and the taxi squad at times.

Shore was waived by Edmonton on Tuesday. This is just a procedural move, as the Oilers were required to waive Shore on Tuesday in order to maintain his roster flexibility since it's been 30 days since he was last placed on waivers. The 26-year-old forward has picked up three points through 11 games this campaign.

Shore was promoted from the taxi squad Monday. Shore likely will draw into the lineup for Monday's game versus the Jets. The 26-year-old has geared up in 10 games this year, averaging 9:02 of ice time per contest and recording two points.
