REPORT: Edmonton Oilers lose forward for remainder of first round with injury
Expectations were high for the Edmonton Oilers to emerge as a dominant team in the Western Conference this season.
However, fans were left disappointed when their team squandered not one, but two, two-goal leads against the LA Kings in the opening game of the series. To make matters worse, the Oilers went on to lose the game in overtime, giving the Kings a 1-0 series lead.
Unfortunately for the Oilers, their woes may not end there. During the game, one of their forwards, Matthias Janmark, was injured after blocking a shot. Reports suggest that the injury is serious enough to rule him out for the remainder of the series.
To add insult to injury, Janmark was seen limping in the Oilers locker room after the game, indicating the severity of the injury. This development is undoubtedly a significant blow to the Oilers' hopes of mounting a comeback in the series.
Janmark not on ice for full practice. I saw him limping after game one. He blocked this shot last game off inside of his right foot. Won't be surprised it is related to that and he won't play tonight. I'd expect EDM to go 11-7. pic.twitter.com/itg0U2Vk8w� Jason Gregor (@JasonGregor) April 19, 2023
Jason Gregor later updated his comment with:
Source tells me Janmark likely done for the series at least. https://t.co/i6MUZTTdNr� Jason Gregor (@JasonGregor) April 19, 2023
