Ryan Jones wears #28.  I wondered aloud yesterday what number Mark Fistric would wear when he joined the Oilers.

Maybe he’d switch up 28 and make it 82.  Today, we wonder no longer, it’s #45.  He probably took that from a famous Oiler, right?

FAMOUS OILERS WHO WORE #45

Um…

THE COMPLETE LIST OF OILERS WHO WORE #45

• Shawn Belle (2011)
• Toby Peterson (2006-07)
• Ales Pisa (2002-03)

Toby Peterson is probably  the most recognizable name out of that trio, what, when Coach MacT had him a line with Sykora and Lupul some years back.  Shawn Belle had it for about a dozen games in 2011, and Ales Pisa sported #45 for a total of  48 games a decade ago.
