Dineen leads all Condor defencemen this season with 43 points in 59 games played and is second on the team in assists with 34. A leader on the team&#8217;s defence, the New Jersey native is currently at +1 on the season despite the team&#8217;s overall goal difference of -19. He comes into the lineup amid a slew of injuries in Edmonton, including to defencemen Mattias Ekholm and Jake Walman.
The 5&#8217;11, 188 lb. defenceman was previously recalled on an emergency basis in early March alongside forward Max Jones, playing one game against the Montreal Canadiens. He registered four shots and 14:56 minutes played in that contest, as the Oilers <a href="https://oilersnation.com/news/instant-reaction-evan-bouchard-overtime-winner-edmonton-oilers-beat-montreal-canadiens">beat the Canadiens 3-2</a> in overtime. The 26-year-old defenceman previously had 34 games played with the Arizona Coyotes in the 2021-22 season, with 7 assists across that span.
Olivier Rodrigue made two appearances and one start in his NHL debut after being <a href="https://oilersnation.com/news/edmonton-oilers-recall-top-goalie-prospect-olivier-rodrigue">recalled from the Condors</a> on March 27th following <a href="https://oilersnation.com/news/well-talk-about-that-internally-edmonton-oilers-corey-perry-addresses-hit-on-stuart-skinner">the injury to Stuart Skinner.</a> His first appearance in the big leagues came that night in relief of Calvin Pickard in the team&#8217;s tough <a href="https://oilersnation.com/news/oilers-lose-to-kraken-drop-both-games-back-to-back">6-1 loss to the Seattle Kraken,</a> taking eight shots and conceding one goal through the third period.
The Chicoutimi born netminder got his first start earlier this week as the <a href="https://oilersnation.com/news/instant-reaction-ducks-beat-oilers-behind-47-save-performance-from-lukas-dostal">Oilers fell 3-2 to the Anaheim Ducks.</a> finishing with a .857 SV% in a game that was arguably not very strong from many parts of Edmonton&#8217;s roster. With his emergency recall over, he returns to the Condors as they make their final playoff push. Rodrigue has an 18-15-8 record in Bakersfield this season.
Rodrigue&#8217;s departure comes as <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/edmonton-oilers-stuart-skinner-set-to-return-following-seven-game-injury-absence?utm_source=dlvr.it&amp;utm_medium=twitter">Stuart Skinner is expected to return</a> to the Oilers lineup for Friday night&#8217;s match against the San Jose Sharks. Skinner has been out on concussion protocol since taking a hit to the head from Mikko Rantanen in a game against the Dallas Stars. His return will come as welcome news to this depleted Oilers team, which also recently welcomed captain Connor McDavid back to the lineup.
