Oilers Sign Frederik Andersen to Shore Up Goaltending Depth

 

Edmonton isn't done building its crease. Hours after acquiring Devon Levi, the Oilers are adding veteran goaltender Frederik Andersen on a one-year deal, according to ESPN's Kevin Weekes.

The move gives Edmonton a seasoned backup option behind Levi, a pairing that blends youth with experience. Andersen has been around long enough to know his role here. This isn't a starter's contract. It's insurance, and for a team with Stanley Cup ambitions, that kind of depth behind a young goaltender makes sense.

Details are still emerging.
