More tough injury news for the Edmonton Oilers -- winger Taylor Hall will be out four weeks with a knee injury, according to general manager Craig MacTavish.
Hall was hurt Saturday versus the Senators in Ottawa. For the 21-year-old, it’s just the latest entry in an injury log that’s already fairly long for a player his age.
The Oilers (2-6-1) are also still without center Sam Gagner (broken jaw), and veteran winger Ryan Smyth (groin) will apparently be out for a week.
Edmonton plays in Montreal tonight before returning home to host Washington Thursday.
#Oilers lines this morning in MTL --> Yakupov-RNH-Eberle, Perron-Arcobello-Hemsky, Jones-Gordon-Pitlick and Eager-Acton-Gazdic
