Latvian hockey player Eduards Tralmaks has shared his thoughts on his goals with the team ahead of the Edmonton Oilers' second preseason game this season. The game against the Winnipeg Jets will be played on the road, with puck drop overnight Latvian time, and Tralmaks is expected to be in the lineup.
The 29-year-old forward signed a one-year two-way contract with the Oilers this summer, giving him another chance to fight for a roster spot in the NHL. He acknowledged that he has never had the opportunity to play in the world's top league, but considers the Edmonton organization a good place to keep developing.
Dream still alive
Tralmaks said the long wait has not diminished his desire to reach the NHL. Despite his age, he still believes in his abilities and hopes this attempt will finally succeed. He noted that his wish to play in the NHL dates back to childhood and that competition for roster spots is fierce.
Playing style
Describing his style of play, Tralmaks called himself a physical power forward who causes trouble in front of the opposing net and can score goals in various ways, including using a strong shot on the power play. He emphasized that his diverse skill set makes him a unique player who can add depth to a team's lineup.
