The Edmonton Oilers' coaching staff provided updates on the injury statuses of players Jake Walman, Jack Roslovic, and Kasperi Kapanen. Coach Jay Woodcroft indicated that none of the three players are anywhere close to returning to the ice, which adds to the ongoing challenges the team faces this season.

Kapanen, who joined the Oilers earlier in the season, is also sidelined due to injury.

The Oilers have been navigating a tough schedule, and missing key players has only compounded their difficulties.
In the wake of these injuries, Woodcroft emphasized the importance of depth and resilience within the team. With playoff aspirations, the urgency for players to step up and fill the gaps left by injured teammates is more significant than ever. Fans are hopeful that the situation improves soon, allowing these players to contribute in crucial games ahead.
