Oilers confirm today he is out 7-10 days. Short term and gives Ethan Bear a great opportunity to impress in final two preseason games and be lineup for season opener next Wednesday.
I’m told Persson has a shoulder injury. Will get it looked at tomorrow. No word on severity at this point. #Oilers
Ten stitches for #Oilers Joakim Nygard after taking a skate to the face Friday against Calgary.
As Persson is on a 1-way deal, if injured to start year his full $1M Cap Hit counts against #Oilers Cap. If player like Yamamoto (2 way, <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
