Gregor was talking like Klingberg was done for the year. No official source.
I think our wingers will bunce around a lot. With LA's physicality and penchant to run our stars I could see Frederic getting some time with McDavid for a few shifts here and there. Skinner has been a great fit down the stretch. Hopefully Hyman does not disrupt that chemistry and only elevates the line even more.
If the Oilers can be healthy and go on a dominant run again, Janmark will get his ice-time. Injuries are bound to creep in the further the playoffs will go. Also could see him jumping in sooner if the PK struggles in game 1. I would probably look at Henrique as the first casualty, but Janmark also has hands like feet.
I am not sure how much he will be missed?

If Klingberg done for the year, then again, is there a real issue with the Oilers medical staff? We used up a bunch of cap space to sign him for way more than league minimum after an injury that kept him out for a season and a half. He played just 11 games for us.
I don't mind making big bets, but the team could have potentially used that cap space at the deadline had they not spent it on someone who'd had a lot of injury issues and who's back on the shelf again, maybe permanently.
The organization should be asking some really tough questions about the training and medical staff and whether players are getting the best care, as well as whether management is getting the best opinions.
