Injury Report: Injury Thread 2018-19 [Klefbom (Finger Surgery, Out 2 Months)]

[McJadeddog]

Thank god.

Talbot has been a disaster this year as well. Sure, he's been a bit better than LB, but it's not like Talbot has been good or anything, he's just been "less bad".

Edmonton Oilers defenceman Adam Larsson was considered a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup with the Nashville Predators and while he did not dress, his return appears imminent.

We've hung Talbot out to dry more than a few times unlike Brossoit, and his save percentage is still a fair bit better than LB.

Talbot >>>> Brossoit

Agreed, I'm just stating that Talbot hasn't been great himself.

Let's hope the time off helped sharpen his mental focus. We can use the 16-17 Talbot.

What's going on with Larsson??

What's going on with Larsson??

Suspected back injury I believe

Suspected back injury I believe

There was apparently a chance that he was going to play today, so one would think he'd be back for Monday or maybe more likely on Thursday.

 

[Burnoutboi]

Just read on the Oilers app that Larsson should be good to go sometime this week. Sekera does not seem to be far behind, but we shouldn’t expect him before Christmas.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

Larsson good to go for tonight apparently.

Klefbom

 

[t0nedeff]

1 dman comes back and immediately another one gets injured jesus

1 dman comes back and immediately another one gets injured jesus

I think he's been banged up for a while now. With Larsson coming back and playing big minutes, Davy and Auvitu who played as a solid bottom pair, gives Klefbom 10 days off to maybe heal up or perhaps its worse but Sekera is coming back. In the meantime I wonder if Sekera is coming back for the game v StL Thursday and Gryba is waived before then.

 

[McJadeddog]

I'm assuming you have all read the same things that I have read, and therefore don't have any further information about what is wrong with Klefbom?

I hope it’s not his weird thin skin foot issue...

 

[Aerrol]

I haven't even seen an official source saying Klef is out yet. Anyone?

Thanks. Here's the relevant Oilersnation post Jaded mentioned too:

Oilers make a flurry of roster moves

 

[LaGu]

He has been playing injured and is sore. In need of rest he will not play until after the Christmas break, so not playing in the next games.

 

[dss97]

What happened to Klef?

 

[LaGu]

I hope it’s not his weird thin skin foot issue...

If it would have been his foot I think he would have been taken off immediately. That was the lesson they learned the hard way last time around.

 

[LaGu]

What happened to Klef?

Undisclosed, but he has been playing hurt for a while

 

[Supermassive]

Makes sense. He has looked like he’s labouring for quite a while. Might be a back issue, the way his mobility and strength aren’t really there.
