Oilers' Andrej Sekera: Knee injury completes season

Coach Todd McLellan indicated that the injury isn't serious, so the veteran blueliner should be fine by the time training camp rolls around in the fall. Sekera managed a disappointing eight points -- all assists -- over just 36 games this season, potentially deflating his stock slightly heading into drafts next year. He remains under contract with the Oilers through 2020-21, so Sekera should be in line for more productive season with a potent Edmonton squad next year if he can stay on the ice.

Oilers' Andrej Sekera: Returning Saturday

Fantasy owners haven't been able to get much out of Sekera this season, as the skilled puck-moving defenseman and shot blocker has been limited to 30 games. The Czech skater managed eight goals and 27 helpers just last year, but he's averaging roughly six and a half fewer minutes per game than he received in 2016-17. As a result, it's probably best to leave Sekera on the fantasy waiver wire unless you're desperate for options on the blue line.

Oilers' Andrej Sekera: Effectively ruled out Thursday

Basically, it's been a lost campaign for Sekera, as he's been limited to 30 games having dealt with knee and facial injuries on top of this latest issue. Expect the shot-blocking specialist to be reevaluated ahead of Saturday's home game against the Kings.

Oilers' Andrej Sekera: Remains on sideline Tuesday

Sekera suffered this injury in Tampa Bay on Sunday, so hopefully this issue isn't as serious since he already missed 34 games due to a knee injury to begin the season. Fantasy owners won't be too disappointed, though, since the veteran blueliner has zero goals and four assists through 30 games.

Oilers' Andrej Sekera: Absent during third period

The 31-year-old was only able to play for 6:54 of the contest, and appears to be dealing with an undisclosed injury after blocking a shot. More information should be released before Tuesday's match against Carolina, and if Sekera's unable to go, Adam Larsson figures to take over his role on the second power-play unit.
