Oilers injury update: Savoie, Andersen, Janmark not close to returning

Edmonton Oilers head coach Mike Babcock provided injury updates following practice on Tuesday, indicating that Matt Savoie, Frederik Andersen, and Mattias Janmark remain far from returning. While Savoie was initially projected in September to miss eight weeks, Babcock had no firm return date. Andersen is also not expected back anytime soon, despite an earlier projection pointing toward December. Janmark took part in practice filling in on defense but does not appear close to entering the lineup as he recovers from shoulder surgery.

In positive roster news, forward Colton Dach returned to a regular line after missing two games due to illness. Defenseman Connor Murphy missed Tuesday's practice session, but Babcock confirmed he is expected to play on Wednesday against the Philadelphia Flyers.
