Tomkins was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Saturday, per the NHL media site.
Tomkins has a 1-1-0 record, 3.10 GAA and .878 save percentage in two appearances with Edmonton in 2026-27. He was with the Oilers because Devon Levi (undisclosed) was on the shelf, but Levi has been taken off injured reserve and is set to start in Saturday's home game against Vancouver. Tomkins might return to Edmonton later in the campaign if Levi or Tristan Jarry are unavailable for a stretch of time.
