Dineen was returned to AHL Bakersfield on Friday.
Dineen has played in just one game for the Oilers this year in which he logged 14:56 of ice time while chipping in four shots, one block and a minus-1 rating. With the team bringing in Jake Walman at the deadline, Dineen will be hard-pressed to get into the lineup the rest of the season -- especially once Mattias Ekholm (undisclosed) and John Klingberg (undisclosed) are cleared to return.
