Nikitin was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Sunday.
Nikitin drew into Saturday's contest after being recalled Wednesday, but it appears the Oilers weren't exactly impressed with what they saw. As a result, the 29-year-old blueliner will return to the AHL affiliate in favor of Jordan Oesterle, who was recalled in a corresponding move. A borderline NHL player, Nikitin doesn't offer much appeal in terms of fantasy.
