The Oilers loaned Joensuu to SC Bern of Switzerland's National League A on Friday, Derek Van Diest of the Edmonton Sun reports.
Joensuu cleared waivers earlier this month, but never ended up reporting to the Oilers' AHL affiliate in Oklahoma City. Since a return to the parent club's lineup wasn't forthcoming, he elected to jump at the opportunity to move back to Europe. The Oilers will retain his rights should he decide to return to North America at some point.

Joensuu has cleared waivers and will report to Oklahoma City of the AHL, according to the Oilers web site.
Joensuu has limited offensive upside and is really nothing more than a fourth line player. He could be back up with Edmonton at some point this season but is unlikely to ever stick in one place for to long.

Joensuu registered a shorthanded goal in Saturday's loss to the Canucks.
An unexpected breakaway allowed the Oilers to cash in with their penalty kill, as Joenssu put the puck past goalie Ryan Miller for his first tally of the season. It will likely amount to one of the few points of the campaign for Joensuu, who sees only limited minutes while scrapping on the Oilers' fourth line.

Jesse Joensuu has suffered a high ankle sprain.
Joensuu is expected to miss at least four weeks, so the odds of him returning this season are slim. He has five points and 16 penalty minutes in 42 games in 2013-14.

Jesse Joensuu will probably be back in the Oilers' lineup on Tuesday.
Joensuu spent back-to-back games in the press box. "The game hasn't come naturally, and in that situation, it's good to get out of the lineup - even though it's always a punch in the face," Joensuu said. He returned from a back injury about a month ago, but he hasn't quite found his game since that happened.

Jesse Joensuu was a healthy scratch on Saturday along with Corey Potter.
Joensuu has only one goal this season in 16 games with the goal coming on opening night and has been a healthy scratch in the Oilers last two games. His fantasy value is less than zero as he is also a minus-12.
