A recent report brings unfortunate news for Edmonton Oilers goalie Jack Campbell, signaling potential challenges for his NHL career.

Campbell Faces Struggles During AHL Stint

Amidst the Edmonton Oilers rough stretch this season, Jack Campbell found himself sent to the AHL. Initially intended as a brief stint to regain form, his subpar performance has forced the Oilers to reassess their plans.

Following a lackluster AHL game just over a week ago, an NHL insider revealed a significant shift in Campbell's status within the AHL. This announcement marked a surprising downturn for Campbell this season.

Friedman Confirms Unfavorable News for Campbell

In a recent statement, Elliotte Friedman discussed the Edmonton Oilers and their goaltending situation. He disclosed that Jack Campbell's struggles have prompted the organization to demote him to the backup position in the AHL.

Jack Campbell has relinquished his starting role with the Bakersfield Condors in the AHL.

Friedman emphasized that the team is now prioritizing the development of young goaltender Olivier Rodrigue. This decision could spell the end for Jack Campbell's NHL career in Edmonton, as the organization appears to have lost confidence in his ability to rediscover his form.

For Campbell to receive another meaningful shot at the NHL, a trade and a fresh start with a new organization seem inevitable.
