A day after losing to the Ottawa Senators to end a four game road trip, the Edmonton Oilers made a couple significant moves.

On Monday, the organization announced it had sent 2016 first round pick Jesse Puljujarvi to the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors and placed goalie Jonas Gustavsson on waivers.

Gustavsson made his seventh appearance of the season in Ottawa Sunday, where he gave up four goals on 17 shots.
