Olivier Rodrigue - NHL News & Rumors

Inks deal with KHL club Rodrigue signed a one-year contract with KHL HC Barys Astana on Thursday, according to RDS.ca,

Impact Rodrigue played a pair of games with Edmonton during the 2024-25 regular season but he was not given a qualifying offer, making him an unrestricted free agent. Rodrigue was unable to garner a contract with an NHL team in the last six weeks, finally signing with the Kazakhstan team. Rodrigue was 18-16-7 with a 3.12 GAA and an .897 save percentage across 41 regular-season appearances with AHL Bakersfield in 2024-25.

Set to hit open market Tuesday The Oilers did not extend a qualifying offer to Rodrigue on Monday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

Impact Rodrigue appeared in two regular-season games with the Oilers last season, going 0-1-0 with an .862 save percentage and a 3.10 GAA. The 24-year-old also registered an 18-16-7 record, .897 save percentage and 3.12 GAA over 41 outings with AHL Bakersfield. The 2018 second-round pick will look to link up with a new organization when free agency opens Tuesday.

Summoned from AHL Rodrigue was recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Tuesday.

Impact Rodrigue appeared in two games with the Oilers during the 2024-25 regular season, posting a record of 0-1-0 with a 3.10 GAA and an .862 save percentage. He went 18-16-7 with a 3.12 and an .897 save percentage across 41 AHL regular-season outings in 2024-25. Rodrigue will be Edmonton's third goaltender in the playoffs behind Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard.

Sent back to minors Rodrigue was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Thursday.

Impact Rodrigue's demotion could be an indication that Stuart Skinner (head) will be available for Friday's clash with the Sharks -- though the move could be undone prior to puck drop. With the available cap space, the Oilers brought up Cam Dineen from the minors to give them six healthy blueliners.

Tagged with loss in first start Rodrigue stopped 18 of 21 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Ducks.

Impact Making just his second appearance at the NHL level, Rodrigue was decent in his first start, but he was beaten twice in the second period and once more in the third. The Oilers didn't provide enough offense to back him up, which wasn't surprising given the absence of star players Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) and Connor McDavid (lower body), meaning Rodrigue ended up being tagged with the loss. Rodrigue isn't expected to start again any time soon, as Calvin Pickard should remain the starter between the pipes for the Oilers until Stuart Skinner (head) is ready to return to the ice.

First NHL start on tap Rodrigue will make his first NHL start on the road against Anaheim on Monday, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.

Impact Rodrigue made his NHL debut in relief against Seattle on March 27 and turned aside seven of eight shots (.875 save percentage). He's made 40 appearances for AHL Bakersfield this year, going 18-15-7 with a 3.05 GAA and .899 save percentage. The 24-year-old will have a favorable opponent for his first NHL start, as the Ducks are averaging just 2.68 goals per game, which is tied for the fifth-worst mark in the league.

Makes NHL debut in relief Rodrigue allowed a goal on eight shots in relief of Calvin Pickard in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Rodrigue was brought in for mop-up duty after the Kraken scored five times in the second period to chase Pickard. This was Rodrigue's NHL debut. He'll likely be with the big club as long as Stuart Skinner (head) is unavailable. The 24-year-old Rodrigue has a 3.05 GAA and an .899 save percentage with AHL Bakersfield this season, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect much of his should he draw into any additional games during this call-up.

Starting in Seattle Rodrigue will protect the road goal versus the Kraken in Wednesday's preseason game.

Impact Rodrigue will make his third start of the preseason. He has allowed nine goals on 54 shots in his first two appearances. Calvin Pickard (upper body) left his previous start but is expected to be fine for Opening Night, so Rodrigue is most likely to head to AHL Bakersfield after this appearance.

In goal for home game Rodrigue will get the starting nod for Monday's home clash versus Calgary, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

The 24-year-old Rodrigue saw action in 37 games for AHL Bakersfield last year in which he posted a 19-12-5 record, a .916 save percentage and 2.73 GAA. With Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard set at the goalie tandem to open the season, Rodrigue figures to continue plying his trade in the minors with the Condors.
