Oilers Bolster Defense with Alec Regula Claim
The Edmonton Oilers have claimed defenseman Alec Regula off waivers from the Boston Bruins, the team announced today. Regula, 22, was originally drafted by the Detroit Red Wings in the third round (67th overall) of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft.
Regula has played in 17 NHL games, recording one assist and 10 penalty minutes. He has also appeared in 63 AHL games, scoring 10 goals and 25 points. The 6-foot-4, 208-pound defenseman is known for his physical play and ability to move the puck.
The Oilers are looking to strengthen their defense, and Regula’s addition provides depth and a potential long-term solution. Regula’s skillset and experience make him a valuable asset to the Oilers’ blue line. With this move, the Oilers continue to shape their roster ahead of the trade deadline, aiming to make a strong push for the playoffs.
