Things continue to get better for the Edmonton Oilers, as the team announced Thursday that veteran defenseman Andrej Sekera was activated from injured reserve.

Sekera has been out since tearing his ACL in the second round of the 2017 playoffs against the Anaheim Ducks. The injury has kept Sekera out for all 34 regular-season games this campaign.

Edmonton is in action Thursday night against the St. Louis Blues, as Sekera is expected to see his first game action in over seven months.
