The Golden Knights claimed Zykov off of waivers on Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zykov was placed on waivers for the second time this season Friday after logging minimal action in each of the last two games. Still, it's no guarantee the 23-year-old winger will see a ton of action with his new club.

Zykov landed on the waiver wire Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Zykov -- who was claimed off waivers by Edmonton in November -- played in just five games for the Oilers, in which he averaged a meager 7:08 of ice time and tallied two PIM, a minus-1 rating and two hits. The winger will be shipped down to AHL Bakersfield if he clears, though Carolina could try to get the Russian back in its system.

Zykov (visa) was activated by the Oilers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Zykov has been dealing with some visa issues that have prevented him from playing for his new club since being claimed by Edmonton in late November. His activation was among a flurry of moves made by the Oilers on Thursday and likely puts Zykov in position to make his team debut Friday against the Wild.

Zykov (visa) has been cleared to play in Canada, which means he's likely to play against the visiting Wild on Friday, Jason Gregor of OilersNation.com reports. However, the winger is still technically removed from the official 23-man roster, per the NHL's official media site.

EDGE Analysis

The Oilers won't be discrete when it comes time to activate Zykov since they'll have to send a player to waivers or AHL Bakersfield in a corresponding move. The Russian has missed three games since being claimed off waivers by the Hurricanes, and there's a lot of anticipation in knowing how he'll perform after the 2013 second-round pick -- originally to Los Angeles -- produced a mere 11 points over 25 games with the 'Canes.

Zykov won't travel with the Oilers as he works out immigration issues.

EDGE Analysis

Zykov was claimed by the Oilers on Friday and wasn't able to play Saturday as he dealt with these issues. Zykov won't count against the Oilers' 23-man roster, and he'll look to get into the lineup when the Oilers return home Friday against the Wild.

Zykov will not make his Oilers debut Saturday against the Golden Knights, Tom Gazzola of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Apparently, there was a delay with Zykov's equipment arriving in Edmonton after the Hurricanes lost out on the 2013 second-rounder via waivers Friday. But rest assured, the Russian is healthy and not dealing with any type of visa issue, with Monday's road game against the Stars presenting his next chance to debut with the Oilers.

The Oilers claimed Zykov off waivers Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zykov was never able to establish a consistent role with the Hurricanes, totaling four goals and 11 points in 25 appearances over the past three campaigns, but he displayed his potential while playing for Carolina's AHL affiliate last season, racking up 33 goals and 54 points in 63 contests. The Oilers may want to see if the 2013 second-round pick can develop chemistry with Connor McDavid while skating on their top line, so he's definitely worth a look in most fantasy formats.

Zykov was waived by the Hurricanes on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The Hurricanes intend to assign Zykov to AHL Charlotte, but he'll first have to pass through 24-hour waivers unclaimed. It's been a trying start to an NHL career for the second-round (37th overall) pick -- Zykov was originally drafted by the Kings in 2013 -- as he's only produced four goals and seven assists over 25 games at the top level.

Zykov (undisclosed) was recalled from his conditioning stint with AHL Charlotte on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

There's no word as to whether Zykov will suit up for Tuesday's contest in Montreal, but his promotion points to good news regarding his injury. The rookie winger has three assists in 13 games this season.

Zykov was loaned to AHL Charlotte for conditioning Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Every so often, an underperforming NHL player who is otherwise healthy will head to the minors for conditioning. This is the case for Zykov, who watched the past three games from the press box and is only averaging 9:45 of ice time through 13 total contests. The Hurricanes understandably have set a high standard of accountability for 2013's second-round (37th overall) draft pick.
