The Edmonton Oilers have been dealt a significant blow as they revealed that forward Mattias Janmark is likely to miss the entire first round of the NHL playoffs series against the LA Kings due to an injury. Janmark played a crucial role in the Oilers' penalty kill, and his absence will leave a significant gap in their defensive lineup.
Adding to the Oilers' woes, the Kings will receive a significant offensive boost with the return of Gabe Vilardi. Vilardi was tied for fourth on the Kings with 23 goals in the regular season, and his presence on the ice is sure to make an impact in the series.
The Oilers will now have to dig deep and find a way to compensate for Janmark's absence while simultaneously containing the Kings' potent offense. It's a tough challenge, but the Oilers will need to step up their game if they hope to come out on top in the series.
