Regula was claimed off waivers on December 11th. He spent his entire season with the Oilers rehabbing an injury. He was placed on injured reserve before the Boston Bruins placed him on waivers.
Funnily enough, on June 26th, 2023, he was part of the package the Chicago Blackhawks sent to the Bruins to acquire the aforementioned Hall.
In the 2023-24 season, Regula played 55 games for the Providence Bruins of the AHL and recorded 26 points. The year prior, he split his time between the NHL and AHL, playing four games with the Blackhawks and 51 with the Rockford IceHogs.

Regula has played 22 NHL games over three seasons. In those 22 games, he recorded one goal, 21 shots, and an average of 16:54 per game.
He signs a two-year, two-way contract with the Oilers worth $775,000 per season. The right-handed defender will bring much-needed depth to the organization, especially the Bakersfield Condors.
