Oesterle was recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Wednesday.
Analysis:
With Edmonton defenseman Darnell Nurse facing a disciplinary hearing as a result of an incident that occurred Tuesday against San Jose, Oesterle's recall was likely made to provide the Oilers another option on defense should Nurse be suspended. Oesterle has one point in four games for the Oilers this season, but has shown some offensive touch in the AHL, recording 23 points in 42 contests.
