Hartikainen might join Oilers in 2012-13
Teemu Hartikainen - W - Edmonton Oilers
Dec. 6, 2012 - 11:15 AM ET
If the lockout ends soon, Teemu Hartikainen could be part of the Edmonton Oilers' opening game roster.
Hartikainen is having a great season in the AHL with six goals and 16 points in 20 games. Magnus Paajarvi is another possibility, but Hartikainen's stock might be a bit higher at the moment and at this point there probably won't be a proper training camp to provide both players with a chance to make their case. That being said, even if Hartikainen or Paajarvi don't make the team, they will probably be among the first called up in the event of an injury to one of the Oilers' forwards.
