The Edmonton Oilers say newly signed goaltender Frederik Andersen is expected to miss training camp after sustaining an injury during off-season training. The reports note that the injury is not fully specified, and the team does not provide a clear return date or timetable.
Other outlets also report that Andersen is not the only player facing a camp absence. Edmonton Journal and Global News say three other players are also expected to miss the start of camp due to health issues. Edmonton Journal adds that defenceman Alec Regula and forwards Mattias Janmark and Matt Savoie are dealing with different ailments. It states Janmark and Regula are recovering from medical procedures performed last season, while Savoie is also listed among those set to miss the camp.
Across the sources, the common point is that Edmonton will begin the September camp period without Andersen and without the three additional players mentioned, requiring the organization to rely on other options as it prepares for the 2026-27 season. The precise details and timelines for each player vary by report, particularly regarding the nature of Andersen’s injury and the team’s readiness schedule.
