Defenceman John Klingberg will make his long-awaited Blue & Orange debut on Thursday night when the Edmonton Oilers host the Detroit Red Wings at Rogers Place, Head Coach Kris Knoblauch confirmed following the morning skate.

Edmonton Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch revealed at practice today that defenceman John Klingberg is expected to make his debut with the team along with new defence pairs.

Klingberg said he’ll have to readjust to the pace of the league but feels much better now about being able to handle it.

John Klingberg signed with the Oilers nearly two weeks ago, and now after a small delay in getting into the lineup, the new defenceman is set to make his debut with the team Saturday against the Maple Leafs.

The Oilers have already signed veteran defenseman John Klingberg, but is general manager Stan Bowman still working the phones?

The Edmonton Oilers potentially bolstered their defense Friday by signing free agent John Klingberg, a low-risk move that could amount to adding a top-four blueliner.
