Jesse Puljujarvi will get another chance to prove he is NHL material as the Edmonton Oilers have recalled the forward from the AHL's Bakersfield Condors, the club announced Friday.

The promotion comes courtesy of a lower-body injury to forward Anton Slepyshev that has landed the 23-year-old on the injured reserve.

If Puljujarvi does indeed draw into the Oilers' lineup in their next game - Saturday against the New York Rangers - it will be his first appearance with the club since he suited up against the Boston Bruins on Jan. 5.

The 19-year-old has gotten off to a rough start since being drafted fourth overall in 2016, having managed just one goal and eight points in 28 NHL games. Puljujarvi earned the call-up after posting five points in 10 contests while averaging over three shots per game with the Condors this season.

The scenery may change, but Jaromir Jagr just keeps on scoring, as the ageless wonder notched his first goal as a member of the Calgary Flames on Thursday.

Jagr's first goal of the season was the 766th of his illustrious career.

In addition to the tally, the 45-year-old also has an assist to his credit on the night, earning his first multi-point game with Calgary.

Jason Zucker is as hot as they come right now.

The Minnesota Wild forward played a big hand in helping his team snap a three-game losing streak Thursday, scoring all three of the club's goals in their shutout victory over the Montreal Canadiens.

This came one night after Zucker tallied two goals in a losing effort against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The recent hot streak has given the 25-year-old a team-leading eight goals and 13 points in 15 games.

On a team with Eric Staal, Mikael Granlund, and Mikko Koivu, Zucker is not who you'd expect to be leading the team in scoring.

Given the man-games lost to key forwards Zach Parise, Charlie Coyle, and Nino Niederreiter this season, Zucker's production is a major reason why the stumbling Wild are still two points out of a playoff spot.

Zucker had a breakout season a year ago, tallying 22 goals, 47 points, and an NHL-best plus-34 rating, but he appears to have taken his game to another level in 2017-18 - right when Minnesota needs it most.

Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have some serious chemistry.

The Edmonton Oilers stars connected for another terrific game-winner Thursday night.

McDavid burst into the New Jersey Devils' defensive zone, blew by Brian Gibbons, drew the attention of John Moore, and fed the wide-open Draisaitl, who one-timed home the decisive marker in the waning moments of overtime.

It was the pair's second overtime connection in as many games. McDavid took Draisaitl's no-look pass and buried the winner to beat the New York Islanders Tuesday night.

Emotions ran high for New Jersey Devils forward Brian Boyle after scoring his first goal since being diagnosed with myeloid leukemia back in September.

In an interview during the first intermission, Boyle admitted that he cried shortly after scoring against the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday.

Boyle was clearly choked up during the interview as well.

A cancer diagnosis can cause so much uncertainty to run through a person's mind; for Boyle to fight back and score Thursday was truly a special moment.

The good news keeps on coming for New Jersey Devils forward Brian Boyle, as the rugged pivot scored his first goal of the season Thursday night - his first tally since being diagnosed with leukemia.

Boyle missed the first 10 games of the season due to the illness, but has now played in New Jersey's last five games.

The 32-year-old was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, a form of treatable bone marrow cancer, in September.

The Montreal Canadiens are taking on the Minnesota Wild without two key players.

Jonathan Drouin and Shea Weber are both absent from Thursday's lineup due to injuries.

Drouin left Tuesday night's win over the Vegas Golden Knights with what the club would only classify as an upper-body ailment. Weber got hurt in practice Wednesday, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.

Both players are day to day.
