Former Oilers Forward Adam Erne Is Living Out His Dream on Broadway

«This is the closest I've been to home,» Erne said. «Feels a little bit more like home to me. Grew up a Rangers fan, so it's a pretty cool experience for me and my family. The guys have been great, coaches, staff, everythings been really good.»

«I think every day just bringing my best,» Erne said. «I know it sounds a little cliche, but that's the truth. Being on a PTO, every day you are here is another good day. Just trying to bring my best each and every day.»

«Both are pretty relaxed locker rooms,» Erne said. «I think there's a humble confidence, nothing is taken for granted for sure. I think everyone is eager to start the year and is ready to go.»

Erne has a shot to make the bottom six in New York, as Jimmy Vesey has just been injured.

While there's no confirmation of the duration of time he'll be out, and the severity of the injury. This could be Erne's chance to win a spot on the lineup, even if it's for a short period of time.

He will have to beat out Adam Sykora, and Brennan Othmann as others who are vying for a spot on the opening night lineup.

This could be a shot at living his dream and making the most of this limited opportunity.
