The Edmonton Oilers are shuffling their blue line in advance of Saturday's game versus the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Defenseman Justin Schultz has been activated off injured reserve, while Griffin Reinhart has been assigned to AHL Bakersfield to clear space on the roster.
Schultz hasn't played since Oct. 25 as a result of a back injury. He recorded an assist and 16 shots while averaging close to 22 minutes a night through nine games to start the season.
Reinhart appeared in 12 games for the Oilers, failing to record a point.
