The Edmonton Oilers acquired 26-year-old forward Filip Hallander from the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday, sending defenceman Spencer Stastney to Pittsburgh as Edmonton contends with injuries to several forwards. Hallander had a goal and two assists in two games this season and has two goals and five assists in 18 career NHL games; Edmonton is hoping he can provide short-term depth while its injured players recover.
