Edmonton Oilers trade forward Jesse Puljujarvi to Carolina Hurricanes
EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers have dealt embattled right-winger Jesse Puljujarvi to the Carolina Hurricanes.
The trade, announced Tuesday, will see the Hurricanes send the Oilers Finnish forward prospect Patrik Puistola in return.
Puljujarvi, 24, has four goals and nine assists in 58 games for Edmonton this season.
“Jesse possesses a great blend of size and skill, and he will add to the depth of our forward group,” Hurricanes general manager Don Waddell said in a statement. “He has familiarity with some of our other Finnish players, and we see him as a great fit for our team and locker room.”
