Anders Nilsson plans to challenge for Oilers’ No. 1 goalie job

Goaltender Anders Nilsson spent last season in Kazan, stopping pucks for the hugely popular Snow Leopards in maybe the most tourist-attractive Russian city outside of St. Petersburg. Nobody was better in net in the Kontinental Hockey League as Nilsson helped AK Bars Kazan reach the final. But he is grateful to be back in North America to prove he can play in the NHL.
