The Edmonton Oilers have placed Oscar Klefbom on injured reserve.
This is a mild surprise, as head coach Todd McLellan had initially indicated that he thought his young rearguard could be back on this road trip. But while the injury was not a long term one (I am made to understand it is a crack in his knuckle), these sorts of injuries have a way of swelling and lingering. So unless its The Stanley Cup Playoffs, it is better off to be safe than sorry. But what a M*A*S*H* unit this club has become!
