Philp was loaned to AHL Bakersfield on Sunday.
Philp produced 19 goals and 37 points in 70 AHL contests during the 2022-23 regular season. Due to personal reasons, he did not play any hockey last campaign. Philp signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Oilers in July to resume his career. He will probably spend most of 2024-25 in the minors.
