Oystrick made the Thrashers’ permanent roster out of training camp in 2008, and ended up playing 53 games for the Thrashers. He scored 4 goals and 12 points that season before being traded to the Anaheim Ducks in 2009. He played most of the season in the AHL, and appeared in just 3 games for the Ducks, recording just 2 penalty minutes. He was signed by the Blues in the 2010 offseason, and will once again be hoping to get another shot at making a permanent NHL roster.
