Injuries: Hall, Mason, Scrivens, Lundqvist, Timonen and more
  • Joanne Ireland of the Edmonton Journal: MRI showed that Oilers Taylor Hall has a cracked bone in his lower leg and will be out up to six weeks. Hall was hit with a shot in his lower leg during a practice on January 26th, but this injury was from from a slash from the game against the Sharks.

    “He came back in San Jose and during that game he took a slash and it was in the same area — and it didn’t respond the way we wanted it too which is why we got the MRI,” said Nelson.

  • Edmonton Oilers: Coach Nelson on Ben Scrivens“Late in the game he tweaked his hamstring. He’s out for a bit and we have Richard Bachman on the way up.”
  • Edmonton Oilers: Coach Nelson on Benoit Pouliot who is day-to-day with a foot injury: “We’re hopeful when we get to Montreal he’s further along and could play.”
