Major - Edmonton Oilers Forward Out 'Months' Following Gruesome Injury Report
Edmonton Oilers forward Dylan Holloway, who showcased his best performance of the 2023-24 season on Saturday, is now facing a setback with a significant injury that will likely keep him sidelined for an extended period.
The unfortunate incident occurred during Monday's game when Holloway lost his footing towards the end of the second period, resulting in a hard slide into the boards, primarily impacting his legs. Oilers reporter Jason Gregor disclosed that Holloway's recovery is expected to take 'months.'
The injury comes as a blow to Holloway's promising start with the Oilers, leaving fans and the team concerned about the impact on the rest of the season. Holloway's absence will undoubtedly be felt on the ice, considering the positive strides he had been making in recent games.
In the wake of this injury news, there's also uncertainty surrounding forward Connor Brown's availability. Brown, dealing with his own fitness testing, remains a question mark for the upcoming games. Although he was on the ice for practice on Tuesday, the decision about his participation in the next game is yet to be determined.
As the Oilers navigate through this challenging period, the team and fans alike will be eagerly awaiting updates on Holloway's recovery timeline and hoping for a swift return to the ice for both injured players.
