Report: Oilers’ Gustavsson won’t dress vs. Hurricanes on Tuesday

Edmonton Oilers goalie Jonas Gustavsson will not be in the lineup when the team takes on the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday, reports Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal.

The Oilers are expected to recall goalie Laurent Brossoit from the AHL's Bakersfield Condors. The 23-year-old appeared in five games with the Oilers last season, posting an unspectacular 0-4-0 record and .873 save percentage.

Coach Todd McLellan has not yet confirmed if netminder Cam Talbot will get the start against the Hurricanes. Talbot was pulled in Sunday's game against the Buffalo Sabres after allowing six goals on 23 shots.

Gustavsson filled in for Talbot versus the Sabres, but was pulled from the game by the NHL's new concussion spotters after Edmonton blue-liner Adam Larsson fell backward and landed on the goaltender's head.
