Malone was placed on waivers by Edmonton on Friday.
Malone was a healthy scratch in four of the last five games, so this move is no surprise. Malone doesn't have a point in 10 games this season and at the age of 33, his NHL career is teetering at this time. He had a goal and four points in 10 AHL games with Bakersfield before his promotion and will likely find himself back in the AHL if he passes through waivers.

Oilers' Brad Malone: Called up from minors
Rotowire
Malone was brought up from AHL Bakersfield on Monday.
Malone will likely be a healthy scratch for Monday's matchup with Colorado, serving as an emergency depth option for the Oilers. If he does play, it would likely come at the expense of Josh Archibald unless there is an injured forward. Even when he does play, Malone's minutes will likely be limited, so fantasy players shouldn't be expecting much out of him.

Oilers' Brad Malone: Two points Wednesday
Rotowire
Malone scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, added five hits and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Capitals.
Entering this season, Malone hadn't played in the NHL since 2018-19, and he hadn't gotten on the scoresheet since the 2015-16 campaign. He finally got his first points as an Oiler on Wednesday, setting up a Cody Ceci tally in the second period before scoring one of his own in the third. Malone has settled into a fourth-line role with the Oilers missing Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (shoulder). Malone has added 13 hits, six shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through four appearances this season, but he shouldn't be expected to put up much offense.

Oilers' Brad Malone: Signs with Edmonton, hits waivers
Rotowire
Malone signed a one-year, two-way deal with Edmonton on Thursday. He was immediately placed on waivers for the purpose of assigning him to AHL Bakersfield.
Malone hasn't featured in an NHL contest since 2018-19, when he was held scoreless across 16 games with the Oilers. He's been great with the Condors this season, though, rattling off 26 points in 26 contests. It's unclear if and when the Oilers plan to bring him up to big club -- assuming he clears waivers, of course.
