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.

Tomkins was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Tomkins is back with the Lightning because Jonas Johansson (lower body) remains day-to-day. Andrei Vasilevskiy will get the start against the Islanders on Saturday, with Tomkins likely suiting up as the backup. Tomkins has yet to play a game in the NHL this campaign. He went 3-2-1 with a 3.33 GAA and an .892 save percentage across six regular-season appearances with Tampa Bay last season.

Tomkins was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Tomkins was called up because Andrei Vasilevskiy (illness) was a game-time decision while Jonas Johansson (lower body) was day-to-day going into Thursday's clash against Los Angeles. Vasilevskiy was ultimately able to play, earning a 28-save shutout victory over the Kings. Tomkins still served as the understudy, though, because Johansson was unavailable. Perhaps his demotion means Johansson will be fine to dress Saturday versus the Islanders, but Tampa Bay has the option of recalling Tomkins if that's not the case. The 30-year-old Tomkins has a 2.87 GAA and a .900 save percentage in 17 outings with Syracuse this season.

Tomkins was called up from AHL Syracuse on Thursday, per Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

EDGE Analysis

Tomkins was recalled as Andrei Vasilevskiy (illness) will be a game-time decision versus LA on Thursday. Should Vasilevskiy be unable to go, Tomkins will back up Jonas Johansson. Tomkins was 6-8-3 with a 2.87 GAA and a .900 save percentage across 17 AHL appearances before his recall.

Tomkins was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Saturday, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tomkins was recalled Friday to serve as the backup to Jonas Johansson, as Andrei Vasilevskiy was given the day off. Tomkins is 3-5-0 with a 3.12 GAA and an .890 save percentage across eight AHL games.

Tomkins was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

There was no word at this time as to whether or not Andrei Vasilevskiy or Jonas Johansson will be unable to play Friday in Nashville. Tomkins is 3-5-0 with a 3.12 GAA and an .890 save percentage in eight AHL games this season.

The Lightning placed Tomkins on waivers Friday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

EDGE Analysis

During the 2023-24 regular season, Tomkins had a 3.33 GAA and a .892 save percentage in six games with Tampa Bay as well as a 2.53 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 29 appearances with AHL Syracuse. Andrei Vasilevskiy and Jonas Johansson are penciled in as Tampa Bay's starting and backup goaltenders, respectfully, so Tomkins is expected to head to the minors if he goes unclaimed. However, Tomkins might be recalled if Vasilevskiy or Johansson get hurt during the campaign.
