Oilers' Goalie and Winger Injured | Edmonton Oilers News

Frederik Andersen’s season debut is on hold as his lingering knee issue, dating back to the playoffs, proves too stubborn for rest — despite a conservative approach after signing his one-year deal. GM Stan Bowman confirms the Oilers never counted on Andersen carrying the full load, hence the strategic addition of Tristan Jarry and Devon Levi to battle for the starting job. Meanwhile, winger Matt Savoie’s offseason injury — a setback from his strong summer — isn’t deemed serious, though he’s sidelined early in rehab and not yet skating; no firm return date exists, though late October rumors persist. The Oilers remain confident in their goalie depth and aren’t seeking more netminders, while both Andersen’s extended absence and Savoie’s delayed return underscore the team’s cautious optimism for the season ahead.
