Oilers' Rob Klinkhammer: Placed on injured reserve Wednesday

Klinkhammer (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

Klinkhammer suffered the injury in Tuesday's tilt against the Wild after he was hit into the boards by one of Minnesota's defenseman and awkwardly landed on his left knee. The Oilers recalled Tyler Pitlick on Wednesday, who will occupy Klinkhammer's spot on Edmonton's 23-man roster until he's healthy. Klinkhammer will be eligible to return to game action Nov. 6 against the Penguins.
