The Oilers needed to make a move to their lineup with Evander Kane (wrist) returning after a 31-game absence.
The Oilers placed Kailer Yamamoto (concussion/neck issues) and Ryan Murray (back) on long-term injury reserve Tuesday afternoon to clear cap space for Kane’s return.
Puljujarvi has four goals and six assists for 10 points in 45 games for the Oilers this season.
The Swedish native has one goal and no assists in his past eight games.
Puljujarvi was a first-round pick (fourth overall) by the Oilers in 2016.
Watch the Oilers-Kraken game at 9 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT on Sportsnet West or SN NOW.
