Souray's first season in Edmonton ends early with shoulder injury

EDMONTON, Alberta -- Edmonton Oilers defenseman Sheldon Souray will miss the rest of the season with a left shoulder injury.

He underwent arthroscopic surgery last week after being placed on injured reserve.

Souray has been hampered with shoulder problems since suffering a second-degree sprain during a game at Vancouver last October 13.

He has three goals and seven assists in 26 games.

Souray signed a $27 million, five-year deal with the Oilers last year.
