The Edmonton Oilers used their sixth-round pick, 184th overall, to select goaltender Nathaniel Day. Playing for the Flint Firebirds of the OHL, Day was the 12th ranked North American goalie per Central Scouting.
Player profile
Day is listed at 6’2” and 181lbs with a February 2005 birthday. This was Day’s second season in the OHL, building into a role as the Firebirds starter by the OHL playoffs.
| Season | Team | League | GP | GAA | SV% | SO | Record |
| 2022-23 | Flint Firebirds | OHL | 32 | 3.91 | 0.874 | 0 | 17-10-0 |
| Playoffs | 7 | 3.24 | 0.896 | 0 | 3-3-1 |
Day joins the Oilers program, adding to their goaltending pipeline, but should not be expected to be a factor at the NHL level for at least another few years. Day will look to continue building his OHL resume next season.
Per Brock Otten:
– looks tall with upright posture
– tough to beat in tight
– good body control
