Oilers place Pouliot and Ference on IR, recall Hamilton from AHL

The Edmonton Oilers have placed forward Benoit Pouliot and defenseman Andrew Ference on injured reserve, the club announced Saturday.

In a concurrent move, Ryan Hamilton was recalled from the AHL's Bakersfield Condors on an emergency basis in advance of Sunday's game against Buffalo.

Pouliot missed the past two games with a lower-body injury, while Ference has been limited to six games this season.

Hamilton, 30, has recorded six goals and two assists in 18 AHL games.
