Oilers' Anton Lander: Called back to big club Thursday

The Oilers recalled Lander from AHL Bakersfield on Thursday.

Lander has split time relatively equally between NHL and AHL this season, tallying 20 games with the Oilers and 16 with the Condors. Although the 25-year-old center has recorded only four points in the NHL, he's posted a stunning 27 with Bakersfield. It remains to be seen what role the Swede will take on in this stay with the big club, but given that he's averaged only 9:35 of ice time in the NHL this season, it seems unlikely to be a large one.
