Jay Woodcroft Releases a Positive Injury Update on an Injured Forward
The Edmonton Oilers received a major piece of news with the report that Mattias Janmark is set to return to the lineup, but only if the Oilers make it to the second round. The forward has been out of action since Game 3 of the first-round series against the LA Kings, but he was seen skating today and is targeting a return if the Oilers advance to the second round.
Janmark was acquired by the Oilers to provide additional depth and scoring punch to the team's forward group. Despite his short stint with the team, he has quickly became an important piece of the puzzle, contributing on the penalty kill as well as on the score sheet.
Janmark's return would give the Oilers a much-needed boost in the second round, as they look to advance deeper into the playoffs. His speed, skill, and two-way ability make him a valuable asset, and his presence would help take some of the pressure off the team's star players.
While there's no guarantee that the Oilers will make it past the Kings, the news of Janmark's potential return is a positive sign for the team and its fans. If he does indeed return, he could play a key role in helping the Oilers make a deep playoff run.
