  Koekkoek (collarbone) was placed on long-term injured reserve Monday, Mark Spector of Sportsnet.ca reports. This move was expected after Koekkoek suffered a fractured collarbone during his first shift of Saturday's win over the Flames. Spector adds that it will be a surprise if Koekkoek returns during the regular season. The 27-year-old suited up for 17 games this year, posting a goal and 29 blocked shots.

  Koekkoek (undisclosed) will not return to Saturday's game versus the Flames, Mark Spector of Sportsnet.ca reports. Koekkoek was injured on a hit from Sam Bennett in the first period of Saturday's contest, and it's bad enough to keep the former out of action. The 27-year-old Koekkoek has typically worked in a third-pairing role for the Oilers this year. If he's not ready to return Tuesday versus the Canucks, Caleb Jones may enter the lineup in his place.

The 26-year-old blueliner added a pair of hits and blocked shots each in the contest. He's supplied nine blocks in three contests, but his forays onto the scoresheet probably won't happen with much frequency.
