The third time really was the charm for centre Petr Nedved.

Sources tell TSN that after two previous trips through the waiver wire this season, Nedved was claimed on re-entry waivers from the Philadelphia Flyers by the Edmonton Oilers.

It was reported earlier in the week by the Philadelphia Inquirer and Ottawa Sun that Senators would claim him, but the Oilers who are below the Senators in the standings took him first.

Nedved played 16 games for the Oilers in 2003-04 after being acquired from the Rangers in a trade deadline deal. He recorded 15 points in his stint, and subsequently signed with the Phoenix Coyotes in the off-season.

The Oilers are in last place in the Northwest Division and are hoping Nedved and provide a spark to their offence which is ranked 24th in total goals.

I'm still skeptical about Nedved being acquired. i guess we'll have to wait and see

It worked last time. He's a big body with all the skills that we need as a play making center. Come on Petr let's get this offense rolling!

I still dont think it's a good idea to get too hyped up. it's not a bad move, but guess we'll have to wait and see.

but he did score a goal in the dallas @ edmonton game. now that game was really wild.
