Doug Plagens, a Syracuse University grad, will be the play-by-play announcer while former Panthers left wing Bill Lindsay will be the game analyst. The studio host duties will be done by Kevin Rogers. 
     Plagens is in his club-record ninth season at his post. Lindsay joined him in the radio booth at the start of the 2015-16 season. Rogers, a Florida State University grad, is in his second stint as the intermission host with the team. 
     The Edmonton Oilers radio broadcast with be heard on 630 CHED-AM. Jack Michaels, an Ithaca College grad, will work as the play-by-play announcer. Bob Stauffer is the game analyst and Reid Wilkins is the studio host. Michaels is one of a few American-born people to announce NHL hockey in Canada. 
     It is a reunion for Michaels and Plagens, who once announced minor league hockey games in the ECHL during the 2000's. Plagens was the radio voice of the Idaho Steelheads while Michaels was the radio play-by-play announcer of the Alaska Aces.
