Elliotte Friedman on Saturday Headlines says the Oilers granted Jack Campbell permission to bring in Manny Legace with him for a few days in the AHL. Legace was a former goaltender coach for CBJ. Campbell worked with Legace in the summer.

Friedman adds: "I still do believe that its [the Oiler's] first choice to have Campbell rejoin the team and improve his play."
