Brandon Davidson is headed back to Edmonton.
The veteran defenseman was claimed off waivers by the Oilers on Sunday, the team announced Sunday.
Davidson was waived by the Montreal Canadiens after they were unsuccessful in finding a trade for the blue-liner.
The 26-year-old spent the first three years of his NHL career in Edmonton prior to a February trade that sent him to the Canadiens for forward David Desharnais.
Davidson has picked up one assist in 13 appearances this season.
