The Edmonton Oilers started Cam Talbot in net last night and planned to have Anders Nilsson, who hasn’t played since Feb. 7, start between the pipes tonight. That’s usually the situation in back-to-back games. However, after much confusion, and pending lineup changes, it looks like Talbot will draw in again.

Sure, understandable. Maybe Talbot had a great practice. Maybe he said that he’s ready. But then, Gene Principe sent out a very intriguing tweet.

Little confusion @EdmontonOilers goalies. Looked like A.Nilsson was starting now @ctalbot33. May be move @StLouisBlues after help. — Gene Principe (@GenePrincipe) February 26, 2016

This means that the Edmonton Oilers may be prepared to ship out Nilsson and trade him to the St. Louis Blues, who are looking for a replacement for injured goaltender Brian Elliot.

The Oilers are playing in Anaheim tonight, meaning that if Nilsson is dealt this afternoon, they could call up Laurent Brossoit or Eetu Laurikainen from Bakersfield. Sure, they’re around three hours apart, but puck drop isn’t until 7 p.m., giving the Oilers six hours to amen a deal.

If Nilsson goes to the Blues, I would be interested as to which player or what pick is coming back in exchange. Though Anders the Giant has shared his troubles, he dominated to start the season and had an impressive six-game winning streak, and under the right coaching and development, he can become a good back-up option. Especially for St. Louis, who can rely on their dark horse, Jake Allen.

We will have more for you as the story develops, but it looks like Nilsson may be out of Edmonton before the day or weekend is done. Either way, if he is going, he has to be gone by Monday at 3 p.m., and likely, he won’t be the only one headed out.
