Philip Broberg

The Edmonton Oilers’ AHL affiliate, the Bakersfield Condors, were eliminated from the Calder Cup playoffs on Friday, and as a result, the Oilers became free to call up players without fear of their absences negatively impacting their affiliate team. Tuesday, the Oilers announced that they have called up seven players from the Condors, a group that will form the team’s “Black Aces,” or players who practice, travel, and remain ready for their NHL teams but typically do not see game action. Those seven players are:

Broberg was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield Friday. Broberg played just 3:16 minutes in Thursday's Game 6 while filling in for the suspended Darnell Nurse. With Nurse returning Saturday, the 20-year-old defenseman will head back to the AHL. Broberg had a goal and two assists in 23 games with Edmonton this year.

After news came down this afternoon that Darnell Nurse would be sitting out Game 6 after headbutting Danault near the end of Game 5, I was wondering what the Oilers were going to do to fill out their back end and it looks like we got our answer in the form of Philip Broberg. While Woodcroft wouldn’t say whether or not Broberg will play — personally, my guess is that Kris Russell draws back in — the Oilers’ interim head coach has shown plenty of trust in the young Swede any time he’s been with the big club under his tenure, and I wonder if that will continue with a chance to play tomorrow night. Either way, the Oilers now have a sizeable gap on their blue line with Nurse out, and it’s going to take everyone in a white jersey to band together and fill that gap. Can Broberg be part of that solution? Will he get the chance?

Broberg was called up from AHL Bakersfield on Wednesday. Broberg has shuffled between levels during the playoffs, but he hasn't suited up for the Oilers. That could change in Thursday's Game 6 with Darnell Nurse suspended.

Broberg was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Monday, per CBS Sports. Broberg has shuffled between the AHL and NHL levels multiple times since the postseason began. He hasn't appeared during the team's series against the Kings but he could be back with the big club again in the coming days.

The Edmonton Oilers have recalled defenceman Philip Broberg from the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors. The rearguard has been up and down between the two clubs in recent weeks. Broberg was returned to the Condors earlier this week ahead of their first-round matchup with the Abbotsford Canucks. The Condors swept their AHL Pacific Division foe in a best-of-three series, but won’t play games again until next Tuesday.

Broberg was recalled by the Oilers on Friday, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports. Broberg could make his NHL postseason debut as soon as Friday versus the Kings. The 20-year-old rookie picked up three points while posting a minus-8 rating through 23 top-level appearances during the regular season.

Broberg was demoted to AHL Bakersfield on Monday. Broberg was recalled to be an insurance body in case Darnell Nurse (lower body) wasn't able to play Monday against Los Angeles. With Nurse in the lineup, the 20-year-old defenseman will likely suit up with AHL Bakersfield for the Calder Cup playoffs.

Broberg was promoted from AHL Bakersfield on Sunday. Broberg made his first NHL appearance in over a month against the Sharks on Thursday and pocketed his first career goal. The 20-year-old will likely be the first defenseman to fill in if Edmonton is dealing with any injuries during the postseason.

The Edmonton Oilers recalled defenceman Philip Broberg from the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors Thursday morning. Broberg, 20, has spent two previous stints with the Oilers this year. He played eight games between Nov. 20 and Dec. 7 scoring one assist, then was recalled when Jay Woodcroft and Dave Manson were promoted to the NHL.

Broberg was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Friday. Broberg played well during his one-game stay with the big club, scoring his first NHL goal in 13:59 of ice time in Thursday's 5-4 win over San Jose. The 20-year-old rookie, who's picked up three points through 23 top-level appearances this season, will likely have a larger role with the Oilers in 2022-23.

Broberg scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks. Broberg tied the game at 4-4 in the third period. His goal was his first at the NHL level, coming in his 23rd appearance. The 20-year-old defenseman has added two assists, 29 shots, eight PIM and a minus-8 rating while mainly playing in a third-pairing role when he's in the lineup. Once Darnell Nurse (lower body) is healthy, Broberg is unlikely to get into many games.

Broberg was called up from AHL Bakersfield on Wednesday, per CapFriendly. Broberg will be extra defensive depth for the Oilers in their last two games of the regular season. He recently recovered from an ankle injury that cost him a month of action in Bakersfield. It's unclear if the 20-year-old will play Thursday versus the Sharks.

Broberg (ankle) is expected to return to AHL Bakersfield's lineup Friday. Broberg has missed Bakersfield's last 13 games with an ankle injury, but he should return to a top-pairing role Friday. It wouldn't be surprising to see the 20-year-old defender join the big club once the playoffs get underway.

Broberg has sustained an ankle injury and will be out 2-4 weeks, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports. The 2019 No. 8 overall pick is currently with AHL Bakersfield, so his injury won't make an immediate fantasy impact. Broberg has only managed to chip in two assists in 22 games with the big club this season.

Broberg was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Wednesday. The rookie rearguard has been given plenty of looks this season, turning in just two assists and a minus-9 rating through 22 NHL games. Broberg will head back to Bakersfield, where he's managed 19 points in 27 contests in his first taste of North American hockey.
