EDMONTON -- Jack Roslovic waited the entire offseason for another NHL opportunity and wants to make the most of the one he now has with the Edmonton Oilers.
The 28-year-old forward practiced with Edmonton for the first time Friday after signing a one-year, $1.5 million contract Wednesday.
“That’s going to be the theme here, is opportunity: an opportunity to win, an opportunity to play with great players,” Roslovic said Friday. “They (the Oilers) have been to the [Western] Conference Final the last two years and obviously they want to go all the way, and the fire is in me too. I want to win. I know how hard it is and it’s a great opportunity.”
