Lucky bounce for first career goal
Samanski was credited with a goal in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Lightning.
ANALYSIS
Samanski's first goal didn't even come on his own shot. The Lightning won the puck out of a scrum, but a pass toward the net bounced over the defenseman's stick and evaded Andrei Vasilevskiy. Samanski hasn't recorded an official shot on net in his last eight games, adding little in the way of offense from a bottom-six role. He's at three points, two shots on net, 15 hits, six PIM and a plus-2 rating over 14 appearances as a rookie this year.

Debuting against Ducks
Samanski will make his NHL debut versus Anaheim on Monday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
ANALYSIS
It's a huge opportunity for Samanski, who was also named to Germany's Olympic roster. In 39 games for AHL Bakersfield this season, the 23-year-old center has notched seven goals and 21 helpers. If he can string together a solid debut and impress in Milan, perhaps Samanski can secure a long-term spot on the Oilers' roster.
