Tomkins stopped 27 of 28 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.
This was Tomkins' first game at the NHL level since the 2023-24 campaign. He was able to keep things rolling for the Oilers, who have won three straight games. The 32-year-old will continue to fill the backup role behind Tristan Jarry while Devon Levi (undisclosed) is out. Tomkins isn't likely to get a lot more work during this stint in the NHL -- the Oilers don't have another back-to-back for two weeks.
