The Edmonton Oilers placed veteran forward Sam Gagner on waivers Tuesday.

Gagner, 34, has recorded five goals and five assists in 27 games this season, averaging 10:14 in ice time per game.

He is in his third tour with Edmonton after signing a one-year, two-way deal worth $775,000 in late October.

The Oilers selected Gagner with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2007 NHL draft
