Recently signed goaltender Frederik Andersen is among four players expected to miss the Edmonton Oilers’ training camp next month after he sustained an injury during off-season training.
The Oilers announced Wednesday that Andersen, along with defenceman Alec Regula and forwards Mattias Janmark and Matt Savoie, are dealing with injuries heading into the 2026-27 season.
The Oilers did not provide details of the injuries to Andersen and Savoie, who was also hurt during an off-season training session.
Janmark underwent surgery in March for a chronic undisclosed injury, and is recovering from a medical procedure performed after last season.
Andersen signed a one-year, US$2.8-million contract with the Oilers on July 1 after backstopping the Carolina Hurricanes to a Stanley Cup title. The 36-year-old from Herning, Denmark, went 13-2-0 with a 1.89 goals-against average, .913 save percentage and three shutouts in the playoffs.
The Oilers, who have struggled to find stability in goal, also have veteran Tristan Jarry and prospect Devon Levi heading into camp.
Edmonton Oilers hire veteran coach Misha Donskov as consultant
The Oilers have hired Misha Donskov as a coaching consultant, the club announced Thursday.
Donskov joined the Vegas Golden Knights as director of hockey operations prior to their inaugural 2017-18 season. He was an assistant coach with the club when it won the 2023 Stanley Cup.
He spent the next two seasons as an assistant coach with the Dallas Stars.
Donskov was an assistant on the coaching staff of the Canadian teams that won gold at the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off and silver at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics and was an associate coach on Canada’s bronze medalist team at the 2026 world junior championship.
Before that, he worked on Canada’s staff at several tournaments, primarily as a video coach.
Hockey Canada hired Donskov as vice-president of hockey operations and men’s national team coach on June 27, 2025. The Oilers say he will continue in that role while joining the Oilers for select days at home each month.
Donskov is tabbed to coach Canada at next year’s men’s world championship and world junior championship.
