EDMONTON, AB - Oilers free agent signees Kyle Brodziak, Tobias Rieder and Kevin Gravel have chosen what numbers they will sport in Oilers threads when the 2018-19 season begins.
Brodziak, the former Oiler who wore three different jersey numbers (No. 15, No. 23 and No. 51) during his previous tenure with the club, has decided to stick with the same number he wore in St. Louis as No. 28.
Rieder, who wore No. 8 in Arizona and No. 10 with the Los Angeles Kings, will go with No. 22 as an Oiler.
Gravel donned No. 53 with the Kings and has chosen No. 5 in Oilers silks.
