He was subsequently claimed the following day by the Edmonton Oilers on January 16, 2021.[15] Added by the Oilers as insurance with an injury to veteran Mike Smith, Grosenick remained on the Oilers roster without making an appearances until he was subsequently re-claimed by the Kings off waivers on February 6, 2021.
