— Edmonton Oilers (@EdmontonOilers) December 26, 2013Horak played one game with the Calgary Flames earlier this season -- October 22 against Phoenix -- and had no points in 4:04 of icetime. He's played 82 career NHL games with five goals and 13 assists for 18 points with a -2 rating.
The @EdmontonOilers have games on back-to-back nights. My guess is Horak/Marincin called up for insurance purposes. Jones now listed on IR..
