Oilers sign Shore, Stanton to professional tryouts

The Edmonton Oilers signed forward Devin Shore and defenseman Ryan Stanton to professional tryouts, the team announced Tuesday.

Shore split last season between the Anaheim Ducks and Columbus Blue Jackets, tallying five goals and seven assists. A second-round pick by the Stars in 2012, Shore recorded 82 points in 209 games during his tenure in Dallas.

The 26-year-old is capable of playing down the middle, meaning he could compete with Jujhar Khaira and Gaetan Haas for the team's fourth-line center job.

Meanwhile, Stanton signed an AHL contract with the Bakersfield Condors. The 31-year-old has played in 120 career NHL games, with the last one coming in 2015-16 with the Washington Capitals. He spent last season with the Ontario Reign - the Los Angeles Kings' AHL affiliate.
