No. 1 in the 30-second version
Oilers become first NHL team to dress a full-time emergency backup goalie, Brett Epp, in Thursday's loss.
The emergency backup goalie, or EBUG, must not have previously played in the NHL under a standard contract, must have 80 or fewer pro games, and cannot have suited up professionally in the three preceding seasons. It is the first season NHL teams must carry one; before this season, home teams supplied them. Tristan Jarry was out with illness and Devon Levi and Frederik Andersen were injured, so Matt Tomkins started in goal.
