Nets two goals for Admirals Oesterle scored twice in AHL Milwaukee's 3-2 overtime win over Grand Rapids on Sunday.

Impact Oesterle's hot March continues -- he's netted nine goals and added two assists over his last 10 contests. That gives the defenseman 14 goals and 28 helpers through 63 appearances this season. While he's been a full-time AHL player in 2025-26, he could be the next man up if the Predators need defensive depth late in the campaign.

Buries two goals Saturday Oesterle scored two goals in AHL Milwaukee's 5-2 win over Grand Rapids on Saturday.

Impact Oesterle has 10 goals on the season, including five over his last five games. For the season, Oesterle is up to 37 points, 117 shots on net and a minus-11 rating over 59 appearances.

Impact Oesterle was heavily involved in this win. He's earned nine assists during his seven-game streak, but he has gone 11 contests without a goal.

Impact Oesterle hasn't gotten a look with the Predators this season. He's earned five points over the last three games, but Andreas Englund got the call-up over Oesterle after it was determined Nicolas Hague (lower body) was set for a week-to-week absence through the Olympic break. Oesterle is at 21 points with a minus-13 rating over 39 AHL contests this season.

Former Blackhawks Defenseman Placed On Waivers According to PuckPedia, former Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Jordan Oesterle has been placed on waivers by the Nashville Predators.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2025 • THEHOCKEYNEWS.COM

Waived for reassignment Oesterle was waived by the Predators on Monday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.

Impact Oesterle has plenty of NHL experience under his belt (408 games), so it wouldn't be a complete shock to see a team snag him off waivers to serve as a seventh defenseman. Either way, the 33-year-old blueliner shouldn't be expected to be an every-night player at this point in his career, so fantasy players, even in deep formats, will probably want to pursue other options.

Pair of points Wednesday Oesterle scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Stars.

Impact Oesterle earned four points over eight outings in April once he got a chance to play regularly. The 32-year-old defenseman had a total of four goals, six assists, 38 shots on net, 27 hits, 57 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 37 appearances between the Predators and the Bruins this season. Oesterle signed a two-year, two-way contract with Boston last summer, so he'll likely be part of Nashville's plans in 2025-26 after they claimed him off waivers in March.

He's up to three goals, eight points, 34 shots on net, 26 hits, 55 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 35 appearances between Nashville and Boston this season. The Predators probably won't get any blueliners back before the end of the season, and Oesterle should end the year with a place in the lineup.

First goal with new team Oesterle scored a goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Oesterle's playing time has been a bit thin since the Predators snagged him off waivers from the Bruins in early March. This was his eighth game out of 13 possible appearances since he landed in Nashville. Oesterle has two goals, five assists, 27 shots on net, 24 hits, 49 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 30 appearances as a part-time player this season. He's seeing more action heading into April, but that's because the Predators are short on forwards and need to dress seven defensemen to fill out the lineup. Oesterle's role could diminish again once Jonathan Marchessault (lower body) or Colton Sissons (lower body) are able to play.

Grabbed off waivers Oesterle was claimed off waivers by Nashville from Boston on Thursday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

Impact Oesterle had a goal and six points in 22 appearances with Boston this season. Nashville has three defensemen on injured reserve -- Roman Josi (upper body), Jeremy Lauzon (lower body) and Adam Wilsby (upper body) -- and traded blueliner Luke Schenn to Pittsburgh on Wednesday, so the Predators needed some extra depth. Oesterle might alternate between being a healthy scratch and serving on the third pairing.

On waivers Oesterle was put on waivers by Boston on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Impact Oesterle has a goal and six points in 22 appearances with Boston. He also has three goals and eight points in nine appearances with AHL Providence. Oesterle will presumably report to Providence if he goes unclaimed.

Finally finds back of net Oesterle scored his first goal of the season in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.

Impact The veteran blueliner finally got some puck luck, as his shot from the faceoff circle early in the second period deflected off a Nashville defender and snuck past Juuse Saros. Oesterle's last goal came with the Red Wings on Dec. 29, 2022, and he'd gone 71 NHL appearances since without lighting the lamp. He's had trouble establishing a regular spot with Boston even with Charlie McAvoy (shoulder) and Hampus Lindholm (knee) on IR, but Tuesday's goal might provide Oesterle with a boost in confidence.
