With the Oilers struggling to find momentum, they may do well to look to the Bakersfield Condors for help, with three players in particular turning heads.<\/p>\n

Oilers’ prospect leading all rookies in AHL<\/p>\n

Winger Isaac Howard<\/a> was assigned to the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors to make room for Zach Hyman<\/a>‘s return to the Oilers’ lineup, and it may be just what he needed to find a spark in his game.<\/p>\n

In his first games with the Condors Howard has performed well, having scored 2G and 2A in his first 2 AHL games.<\/p>\n

Playing on the first line with Quinn Hutson<\/a>, Howard has managed to not only demonstrate chemistry with his linemates, but play the kind of offensive game he is known for, that which made him successful in the NCAA.<\/p>\n

Well before Howard arrived, however, Quinn Hutson was doing big things, leading all AHL rookies in scoring.<\/p>\n

The right winger is on fire. In his 15-games with Bakersfield, he’s scored 7G and 8A for 15 points and is a plus-5. He’s also shown some aggression, picking up 14 minutes in penalties. To cap it all off, Hutson has 3 game winning goals.<\/p>\n

He’s been clutch and it’s just what the big-club needs. Expect to see him with the Oilers soon, especially after he got a look with the team last season.<\/p>\n

Finally, Connor Ingram<\/a> was acquired for insurance in goal, and though his overall play in the AHL hasn’t given the club confidence, his last few games has, picking up 2 wins.<\/p>\n

Of course, he was always going to be a reclamation project, having missed a good chunk of action these last two season for personal reasons.<\/p>\n

Yet, he’s shown recently that his development is on target; he will at some point get his chance to play with Edmonton, especially given Skinner’s struggles and Stan Bowman’s reluctance to look externally for another goalie.<\/p>\n

Oilers prospect leading AHL in rookie scoring could earn call up, Ingram’s play takes a turn<\/p>\n

Should both Quinn Hutson and Ike Howard be brought-up to the Oilers, given their chemistry and strong play in the AHL?<\/p>\n
