What happened: Edmonton will hold Fan Day on Saturday with an open practice, a locker room sale and autograph sessions with alumni and Hunter. The club scheduled the event from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and billed it as free for fans.
Why it matters: The event gives the Oilers a public ramp-up before preseason action begins and extends the club's offseason fan outreach. It also adds another in-person touchpoint in a week when Edmonton has been promoting community events around the team.
What to watch: Attention shifts to turnout and any fresh roster notes that emerge around the open practice. Edmonton's preseason schedule is set to start this weekend.
