The Oilers send defenseman Alec Regula to Bakersfield on a two-week conditioning stint, a move that screams "get this kid some ice time before he forgets how to skate." Regula, a 25-year-old waiver pickup from Boston who's been glued to the press box since mid-January, needs games to shake off the rust from limited action and a prior knee injury. With Edmonton's blue line humming and playoffs looming, this stint carries real stakes for Regula to prove he belongs in the NHL mix come recall time.
