The Edmonton Oilers have claimed winger Kasperi Kapanen off waivers from the St. Louis Blues to help shore up their forward ranks and possibly give their offense a jolt. The Oilers were carrying 12 healthy forwards until an injury last week to Viktor Arvidsson left Edmonton needing to play with seven defensemen in its last three games.
