Oilers make pair of roster moves ahead of playoff opener

The Edmonton Oilers have announced two roster transactions as they prepare to head into the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Oilers announced this morning that both Adam Erne and Philip Broberg have been loaned to the Bakersfield Condors of the AHL. Both players were recalled days ago to allow head coach Kris Knoblauch to rest some of his top stars for last night's game against the Colorado Avalanche. Interestingly, Sam Gagner, who was also recalled days ago, appears to be sticking with the Oilers.
