Samanski was recalled from AHL Bakersfield by the Oilers on an emergency basis, the team announced Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Samanski was just sent down Friday, but with Adam Henrique (knee) now day-to-day, the Oilers were able to call him back up on an emergency basis. The 22-year-old has two assists in six games on the season so far. Given Henrique's status, Samanski will likely have the chance to add to those numbers as soon as Sunday night against the Golden Knights.

Samanski was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Friday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

EDGE Analysis

Samanski was likely to have a tough time getting playing time after the Oilers traded for Jason Dickinson and Colton Dach. This move allows Samanski to continue developing with the Condors, while another veteran could be called up for forward depth.

Samanski is expected to be recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Monday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

EDGE Analysis

Samanski will replace Andrew Mangiapane, who cleared waivers Monday, on the NHL roster. In his five appearances for the Oilers this season, the 23-year-old Samanski has generated two assists, four hits and one shot while averaging 9:21 of ice time.

Samanski scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Germany's 5-1 win over France in Olympic qualification round play Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old Oilers prospect picked up his first points of the tournament while working on the power play with NHL teammate Leon Draisaitl. Samanski will look to carry that momentum into Wednesday's quarterfinals tilt against Slovakia.

Samanski was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

This is functionally a paper move, as Samanski will spend the Olympic break in Italy representing Germany. The 23-year-old will need to play in one AHL game before being recalled to the NHL roster, but that's unlikely to happen until the NHL schedule resumes. Given Germany's underdog status, Samanski should have the time to get back to the Condors and get in a game before the Oilers face the Ducks on Feb. 25.

Samanski registered an assist in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Samanski helped out on a Jack Roslovic goal in the third period. This was Samanski's first point in three games for the Oilers after his call-up Monday. He's added a plus-2 rating and two hits while filling a bottom-six role. The German forward will be representing his country at the Olympics, and he's gotten a taste of heightened competition in the NHL before heading to the tournament.

EDGE Analysis

Samanski will switch places with Isaac Howard, who was sent down in a corresponding move. With his promotion, Samanski is poised to make his NHL debut versus the Ducks. In the minors this year, the 23-year-old center is racking up points, generating seven goals and 21 helpers in 39 outings. It's a well-timed call-up for Samanski before he joins Germany at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Samanski scored twice and added two assists in AHL Bakersfield's 5-4 overtime win over Coachella Valley on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Samanski had racked up eight assists over his last 10 games, but his tallies Friday were his first since Nov. 18. The forward is adjusting well to the AHL level with five goals and 21 points over 26 outings in his first professional season. Quinn Hutson recently got called up to the Oilers, and Samanski could be another forward who gets a look at some point in 2025-26, particularly if the big club needs center depth.

Samanski notched three assists in AHL Bakersfield's 7-4 win over Henderson on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Samanski has logged three goals and seven assists over his last eight contests, a span that includes all four of his multi-point efforts on the year. The German-born forward is up to three goals and 10 helpers over 18 appearances this season. He signed a two-year, entry-level deal in the spring and is making a decent first impression with the Condors.
