Encyclopedia

in 6 games in the opening round.
During the off-season, the Oilers and Mike Comrie
could not come to a contract agreement, and Comrie would not start the season with the team. Comrie would eventually be traded to the Philadelphia Flyers

would begin the season as the starter, however, he would lose his job and eventually be traded to the Colorado Avalanche
before the season was over. He won 17 games and had a 2.58 GAA, along with 3 shutouts, with Edmonton. Ty Conklin
took over the starting duties, and he would also win 17 games, have a 2.42 GAA and earn a shutout along the way.
