The Edmonton Oilers are loading up on waiver claims.
Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli has successfully claimed forward Adam Cracknell from the Vancouver Canucks and defenseman Adam Pardy from the Winnipeg Jets.
Cracknell, a sandpapered depth winger, has netted 10 points in 44 games, while the veteran Pardy has been limited to 14 starts this season.
Both players should receive stopgap minutes with the dismantling Oilers, who have shipped out Teddy Purcell and Justin Schultz, and reportedly lost Benoit Pouliot to a separated shoulder.
