The Edmonton Oilers have inked defenseman Slater Koekkoek to a one-year, $850,000 contract, the team announced Saturday.
The 26-year-old, who was an unrestricted free agent, produced 10 points over 42 games while averaging 16:45 of ice time with the Chicago Blackhawks last season.
Koekkoek played with the Tampa Bay Lightning for his first four full campaigns and part of another before the club traded him to Chicago in January 2019.
The Lightning drafted him 10th overall in 2012.
