November 18, 2008 The Edmonton Oilers are hoping Dustin Penner got the message. After sitting out the last two games as a healthy scratch, the big winger is expected to be back in the lineup tonight against the Columbus Blue Jackets, according to Slam Sports.
November 17, 2008 Dustin Penner was a healthy scratch for the Oilers this weekend and will be so again on Monday, according to TSN. It seems his coach, Craig MacTavish, is fed up with the forward. "He's not competitive enough or fit enough to help us, so why put him back in? He's never been fit enough to help us. ... It's been one thing after another. I can't watch it for - certainly not another two and-a-half years," MacTavish said.
November 1, 2008 The Edmonton Journal reports that Dustin Penner has been promoted to the top line for Saturday night's game in hopes of getting a stagnant offense going.
