Oilers recall Mark Fayne from Bakersfield of AHL

The Oilers have added Keith Aulie, Mark Fayne, Benoit Pouliot, and Teddy Purcell. If size was ever an issue for the team, it isn't any longer.

Defenceman Mark Fayne was recalled by the Edmonton Oilers from the American Hockey League on Sunday.

The 28-year-old has appeared in 24 games with the Oilers this season and has one assist and a minus-six rating.

Fayne had one assist in five games with the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors.

Edmonton placed Fayne on waivers Dec. 9. He is in the second season of a US$14.5-million, four-year contract that carries a $3.625-million cap hit.

The Oilers have lost their last three games and face the Winnipeg Jets at home on Monday.
