The injury bug has struck the @Edmonton Oilers a bit, as @Joel Persson has been placed on the Injured Reserve for 7-10 days after suffering a shoulder injury in <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2019/09/24/game-recap-3-0-edmonton-oilers-vs-arizona-coyotes/">last night&#8217;s 4-2 loss</a> to the @Arizona Coyotes last night.

Nuge scored a brilliant short-handed goal in last night&#8217;s loss but is a little banged up as well, nursing a sore leg after today&#8217;s practice, while @Gaetan Haas also took a puck off the jaw during practice and had to leave the ice.
@Joakim Nygard is also recovering from some damage, sporting a gnarly scar on the left side of his face after getting ten stitches to close a laceration from a skate blade during the Oilers 6-2 win over the @Calgary Flames on Saturday.

With <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2019/09/24/evan-bouchard-and-shane-starrett-assigned-to-bakersfield-joel-persson-suffers-shoulder-injury/">the Persson injury</a> and @Evan Bouchard being sent down to the @Bakersfield Condors early today, there is now a huge opportunity for @Ethan Bear to step in on @Oscar Klefbom&#8217;s right side as Head Coach Dave Tippet eluded to this being the time for Bear to get a chance with the big club with only two preseason games remaining.

As Persson is on a 1-way deal, if injured to start year his full $1M Cap Hit counts against <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Oilers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Oilers</a> Cap.
If player like Yamamoto (2 way, &lt;50 NHL GP last year) is injured to start year, his Cap Charge is based on his Accumulated NHL Cap Hit last year ($303K); so $1.6K charge/day
