Tomkins posted a 33-save shutout in AHL Bakersfield's 1-0 overtime win over Calgary on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Tomkins earned his second shutout of the AHL campaign, which is the sixth shutout of his career. Tomkins has gone 11-5-4 with a 3.10 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 21 appearances. He's won four of his last six outings as well, and he'll likely see a starting role while Connor Ingram remains in the NHL.

Tomkins recorded a 28-save shutout in AHL Bakersfield's 4-0 win over Henderson on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Tomkins is now 7-3-2 on the year after his first shutout this season and the fifth of his career. He's posted a mediocre 3.11 GAA and an .898 save percentage. Tomkins' play hasn't been good enough for him to get a chance to push for an NHL spot, though the Oilers are likely to address their crease concerns with a trade rather than a promotion.

Tomkins was sent to AHL Bakersfield on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers recalled Tomkins on Friday to back up Calvin Pickard because Stuart Skinner was unable to play due to illness. Tomkins was 12-10-4 with a 2.55 GAA and a .907 save percentage with AHL Syracuse across 26 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. Tomkins is currently fourth on Edmonton's organizational depth chart behind Skinner, Pickard and recent trade acquisition Connor Ingram.

Tomkins was recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Friday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tomkins landed on waivers earlier this week, but he'll rejoin the NHL club just before the end of the preseason since Stuart Skinner (illness) may not be able to play in Friday's preseason finale against Vancouver. Tomkins will presumably head back to Bakersfield before the start of the regular season.

Tomkins was placed on waivers Monday to assign him to AHL Bakersfield.
EDGE Analysis
Tomkins posted a 12-10-4 record with a 2.55 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 26 regular-season appearances for AHL Syracuse in 2024-25. If he clears waivers, he will provide the Oilers with organizational depth in case of an injury to Stuart Skinner or Calvin Pickard.

Tomkins signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Oilers, PuckPedia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tomkins figures to just be organizational depth for the Oilers, and he'll likely start this coming season in the AHL. The 31-year-old posted a 12-10-5 record with a 2.55 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 26 regular-season outings with AHL Syracuse in 2024-25.

Tomkins was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Tomkins was with Tampa Bay because Jonas Johansson (lower body) has been unavailable. This roster move might indicate that Johansson is ready to return, but Tampa Bay is off until Thursday, so there would still be time for the Lightning to recall Tomkins or another netminder if that's not the case. The 30-year-old Tomkins has a 2.54 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 22 outings with Syracuse this season.

Tomkins was summoned from AHL Syracuse on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Tomkins has a 2.54 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 22 appearances with Syracuse in 2024-25. Jonas Johansson is dealing with a lower-body injury and didn't participate in Saturday's practice, so Tomkins will likely be the backup goaltender behind Andrei Vasilevskiy versus Seattle on Sunday.

Tomkins was loaned to AHL Syracuse on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Tomkins has been the backup goalie behind Andrei Vasilevskiy in the last two games due to the absence of Jonas Johansson (lower body). If Johansson doesn't return to the lineup in Tuesday's home game versus Ottawa, Tampa Bay could recall Tomkins from the minors.
