The Edmonton Oilers, who were hit by the injury bug out of the gate, have a number of players expected back soon. Mark Spector of Sportsnet shared today<\/a> that Head Coach Kris Knoblauch<\/a> \u201chopes\u201d that Mattias Janmark<\/a> and Alec Regula<\/a> are set to return this weekend, Jake Walman<\/a> next Thursday, and finally, Zach Hyman<\/a>\u2019s November 1st estimated return is still on track.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hyman originally suffered a very untimely major wrist injury in last year\u2019s Western Conference Finals. Meanwhile, newcomer Andrew Mangiapane<\/a>\u00a0is off to a hot start with 2 goals, in the coveted seat of Connor McDavid<\/a>\u2019s wing. It will be interesting to see how the Oil work Hyman back into the lineup, along with the recent addition<\/a> of Jack Roslovic<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Walman and Janmark have both been out with undisclosed injuries not thought to be serious. Regula has appeared in both of the Oilers\u2019 games to start the season, but is out tonight with yet another undisclosed injury. The 25-year-old was claimed off waivers from Boston last year, offering imposing size and a right handed shot, filling a bottom-pair role perhaps missed by the team since the departure of Vincent Desharnais<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Elsewhere across the division:<\/p>\n

In an article published by The Fourth Period earlier today<\/a>, referencing word from their own David Pagnotta, Kiefer Sherwood<\/a> and the Canucks have not begun contract discussions yet. A late-bloomer who established himself as a full-time NHLer with Nashville, Sherwood signed with Vancouver last season on a two-year deal and took another step, posting 40 points, and most notably, breaking the NHL single-season record for hits. Sherwood is a prototypical fourth liner in today\u2019s game, and perhaps the club is feeling out his performance this year before they take next steps toward a considerable pay increase.\u00a0
\nThe Kings have updates of their own; as Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet shared on today\u2019s episode<\/a> of the FAN Hockey Show, that star Adrian Kempe<\/a> wants to stay. Friedman said that talks had been in the $9-10MM range, but now, given the market explosion, it could go higher. The 29-year-old broke out in a steal of a 4-year deal at $5.5MM which finally ends this season. Additionally, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period also shared that the team is in no rush with an extension for young standout Brandt Clarke, as published today.<\/a> Given such huge contracts given out to Luke Hughes<\/a> and Lane Hutson<\/a>, the Kings will be content to play the long game and see how Clarke\u2019s season unfolds.\u00a0
\nSinBin.vegas noted tonight<\/a> from the Golden Knights Insider Show, that forward Brett Howden<\/a> will be out of tonight\u2019s game in Calgary, and Cole Reinhardt<\/a> will make his Vegas debut. It is not clear if it is an injury or scratch for Howden, who has one goal in the team\u2019s first three games. Reinhardt signed a two-year deal coming over from the Senators, where he spent most time in the AHL, but notched two points in 17 games for the big club last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Edmonton Oilers, who were hit by the injury bug out of the gate, have a number of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":214516,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[9056,93976,57352,103969,49,48,103970,453,5718,9634,11935,763,47589,448,82,452,767,62331],"class_list":["post-214515","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-adrian-kempe","tag-alec-regula","tag-brandt-clarke","tag-brett-howden","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-cole-reinhardt","tag-edmonton-oilers","tag-injury","tag-jake-walman","tag-kiefer-sherwood","tag-los-angeles-kings","tag-mattias-janmark","tag-nhl","tag-sports","tag-vancouver-canucks","tag-vegas-golden-knights","tag-zach-hyman"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214515","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=214515"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214515\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/214516"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=214515"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=214515"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=214515"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
