Oilers add Kevin Westgarth to training camp roster

The Edmonton Oilers are trying out some extra sandpaper at training camp.

Edmonton added veteran enforcer Kevin Westgarth to its training camp roster on a tryout basis on Tuesday, offering the 30-year-old forward a chance to continue his career.

Westgarth appeared in 36 games with the Calgary Flames last season, recording a career-high seven points after being traded from the Carolina Hurricanes. He's missed significant time due to hand injuries and also suffered a concussion when he was knocked out by resident Oilers tough guy Luke Gazdic in March.
