Any hope of Ilya Bryzgalov beginning his stint with the Edmonton Oilers in Philadelphia on Saturday has been dashed, as the 33-year old appears headed for a brief conditioning assignment prior to seeing any NHL action.
Oilers say Bryz will be on conditioning assignment and will not play at WFC tomorrow, per Edmonton Journal. :(

Oilers GM MacTavish at a college game tonight. Says Bryzgalov will practice with team, then get a few starts in OKC before Oilers debut.
