The Edmonton Oilers placed goaltender Tristan Jarry on long-term injured reserve on Tuesday after he sustained a lower-body injury on Dec. 18. Coach Kris Knoblauch said Jarry could return to full practice sometime next week and expects the goaltender to be out a couple more weeks. Jarry returned to the ice Tuesday and took shots during an optional practice. The injury occurred about a week after Jarry was acquired in a trade with Pittsburgh; he had won his first three starts with Edmonton before being sidelined. Key facts: - Tristan Jarry was placed on long-term injured reserve Tuesday following a lower-body injury sustained on Dec. 18 while making a save in a 3-1 win over Boston. - Coach Kris Knoblauch said Jarry took shots at an optional practice Tuesday and could return to full practice sometime next week, but is expected to be out a couple more weeks. - Jarry was acquired from Pittsburgh about a week before the injury and had won all three of his starts with Edmonton prior to being sidelined. - The Oilers activated forward Kasperi Kapanen, who had been out since Oct. 19 with a lower-body injury and was listed as available for Tuesday's game. - Connor Ingram was set to start in goal for Edmonton's game Tuesday night against Nashville. Summary: Jarry's move to long-term injured reserve removes him from the active roster for the near term while the team manages goaltending duties. Knoblauch indicated a possible return to full practice next week, and the Oilers activated Kasperi Kapanen ahead of Tuesday's game; the club's immediate roster decisions will follow from those conditions.
