Westgarth signed a professional tryout with the Oilers and will join the team for training camp, NHL.com's Aaron Vickers reports. Westgarth is nothing more than a checking-line pugilist, giving him value primarily in leagues that count penalty minutes. He'll first have to impress the Oilers in training camp before he gets the opportunity to reprise his enforcer role.

Kevin Westgarth wasted little time Saturday night seeking out Luke Gazdic for a return bout. In their March 1st fight, Gazdic concussed Westgarth with a hook that sidelined him for 10 days. After Saturday's fisticuffs the two tough guys acknowledged each other with respect and were seen chatting in the penalty box. We hope you anticipated this tussle if you needed to boost your penalty minute totals.

Acquiring Kevin Westgarth on Monday is part of Calgary Flames president Brian Burke's plan to make the team tougher. "I don't like the way we've been pushed around," Burke said. Westgarth has played in just 12 games this season, but there's a good chance that he'll have a bigger role with Calgary.
