Anton Lander: Headed to KHL
Anton Lander signed a contract with Ak Bars of the KHL on Thursday, TSN reports.After spending much of the 2016-17 season between Edmonton's NHL and AHL teams, Lander has decided to take his talents to Russia, where he will likely be able to receive more ice time. Since his 20-point season in 2014-15, the 26-year-old has managed just two goals and five assists in 83 total NHL games. He'll focus on his game in Europe, and perhaps we'll see him back in North America in due time.

Oilers' Anton Lander: Returned to minors
Anton Lander was sent back to the team's AHL Bakersfield affiliate on Sunday.Lander hasn't drawn into the lineup since being recalled by the Edmonton Oilers on Jan. 19, so he will return to the minors to knock off some rust during the team's bye week. It's possible the club will recall him again when it resumes play next Saturday, but he may also stay in the minors if one or more of the injured players is ready to return.

Oilers' Anton Lander: Called back to big club Thursday
The Edmonton Oilers recalled Anton Lander from AHL Bakersfield on Thursday.Lander has split time relatively equally between NHL and AHL this season, tallying 20 games with the Oilers and 16 with the Condors. Although the 25-year-old center has recorded only four points in the NHL, he's posted a stunning 27 with Bakersfield. It remains to be seen what role the Swede will take on in this stay with the big club, but given that he's averaged only 9:35 of ice time in the NHL this season, it seems unlikely to be a large one.

Oilers' Anton Lander: Reassigned to AHL
Edmonton reassigned Anton Lander to the AHL on Wednesday.Lander's last 11 NHL games -- which have come over a span of more than two months thanks to demotions and scratches -- have been rough. He's recorded one assist, three shots and a minus-1 rating in that time. Lander also played under 10 minutes in each of his last seven games; he saw only 3:24 of ice time in Tuesday's contest. Considering the trouble he's had holding onto an NHL role, there's no reason for fantasy owners to concern themselves with him.

Oilers' Anton Lander: Snaps slump
Anton Lander assisted on Matthew Benning's game-tying third-period goal in Saturday's overtime win against the Devils.Lander hadn't registered a point in eight games, which spans a trip to the AHL and games where he saw as little as 6:26 of ice time. He's a poor play in almost every fantasy format. In part, that's because he's not seeing much ice and not necessarily in the lineup every night. But even when he is in, he's not producing much. Over his last nine games, he has one assist and three shots.

Oilers' Anton Lander: Recalled on Monday
Anton Lander was recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Monday.The forward has 21 points in 13 games in the AHL, so he's proven himself to be a high-scorer, but whether that can translate to the NHL is the question. In a previous NHL stint this year, he had three points in 16 games, so he hasn't proven himself yet.

Oilers' Anton Lander: Lands on waivers
Anton Lander was placed on waivers Friday, TVA's Renaud Lavoie reports.It's not clear what the team plans to do if Lander clears, but it's possible he gets assigned to the AHL. Even if they keep him with the NHL club, his seven-game point slump with just two shots in that time should be enough to keep you from rostering him.
