BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Former Bakersfield Condors left-winger Tyler Benson made his NHL debut with Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.
He becomes the 11th Condor in AHL history to be recalled to Edmonton and the seventh in the last two seasons.
Making it even more special for the 21-year-old is the fact that he was born in Edmonton and grew up an Oilers fan.
