Newly acquired netminder Frederik Andersen is one of four athletes projected to sit out the Edmonton Oilers’ upcoming training camp in the coming month due to an off-season training injury.
On Wednesday, the Oilers revealed that Andersen, alongside blueliner Alec Regula and forwards Mattias Janmark and Matt Savoie, are currently sidelined with injuries as they approach the 2026-27 campaign.
The organization refrained from disclosing specific details regarding the ailments affecting Andersen and Savoie, who similarly got hurt while training in the off-season.
Janmark had a surgical procedure in March to address an ongoing, unspecified issue and is currently in recovery following the post-season medical intervention.
On July 1, Andersen agreed to a single-year deal worth $2.8 million USD with Edmonton, hot off the heels of leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a Stanley Cup victory. The 26-year-old Danish native from Herning posted a postseason record of 13-2-0, showcasing a 1.89 goals-against average, a .913 save percentage, and three shutouts.
Edmonton, a franchise that has repeatedly searched for reliable goaltending, will also bring experienced netminder Tristan Jarry and young prospect Devon Levi to camp.
