Oilers' Mattias Janmark: Moved to LTIR
Rotowire
Janmark (shoulder) was added to the long-term injured reserve list Wednesday.
Janmark hasn't played since Oct. 26, so this move is presumably retroactive to that date. That would allow him to return as soon as Nov. 22 versus Carolina. The 30-year-old has no points in seven contests this season. Edmonton also summoned Adam Erne and Raphael Lavoie on Wednesday, and the two forwards are likely to draw into the lineup while Janmark and Dylan Holloway (lower body) are injured.

Oilers' Mattias Janmark: Still not skating
Rotowire
Janmark (shoulder) has not resumed skating and has no timeline to return to the Oilers' lineup, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Janmark is potentially a long-term injured reserve candidate given his lack of a timeline. If that happens, it would free up enough cap space for the Oilers to recall a player. The winger is unlikely to play within the next week, and he can be considered out indefinitely until he returns to practice.

Oilers' Mattias Janmark: On track to play
Rotowire
Janmark (undisclosed) took line rushes in warmups, suggesting he'll return to the lineup Wednesday in Game 4 versus the Golden Knights, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
