The Edmonton Oilers made their NHL trade deadline splash on Tuesday by acquiring defenseman Mattias Ekholm from the Nashville Predators, the teams announced.

The Oilers are trading defenseman Tyson Barrie, prospect Reid Schaefer, a 2023 first-round pick and a 2024 fourth-round pick for Ekholm, a 32-year-old defenseman who has spent his 12-season NHL career with the Predators, and a 2023 sixth-round pick.
