Status report
The Oilers reclaimed defenseman Travis Dermott off waivers from the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday; he was assigned to Bakersfield of the American Hockey League. … Nurse, a defenseman, is day to day. ... Tkachuk, a forward, is out at least two more games, Panthers coach Paul Maurice said Thursday; Maurice did not offer a timeline other than to say Tkachuk's injury is "near term." ... Luostarinen will return after missing a 4-1 win at the Nashville Predators on Tuesday because of the birth of his first child. … Justin Sourdif, a forward, was loaned to Charlotte of the AHL on Wednesday.
