Warren Foegele News

Foegele has missed the Oilers' previous two games with an undisclosed injury but will draw back into the lineup Monday as Edmonton takes on Los Angeles. The 26-year-old has four goals, three assists, 10 PIMs, 42 SOG and a -1 plus/minus through 28 games played.

Foegele left the Oilers' previous game vs. NYR due to an undisclosed injury after picking up an assist after only 10:32 TOI. The 26-year-old will miss Monday's content vs. Florida and is not expected to be out long-term which is good news to Edmonton as he has three goals and five points through the first 20 games of the season.

Foegele was one of three players activated from COVID-19 protocol on Saturday but only one of the three will play. The other two were Tyler Benson and Slater Koekkoek, so Foegele seems like the likely choice to play.

Foegele has been on the COVID-19 reserve list and has not played since January 18th. Foegele should reclaim a spot in the Hurricanes' bottom-6 and is still searching for his first point of the season.

Foegele was activated on Friday and was on the ice for an optional practice, suggesting that he could be available for Saturday's home game vs. the Stars. Foegele, who has yet to record a point in three games this season, will likely replace Steven Lorentz and skate on the third line with Jordan Staal if he's made available.

The Hurricanes played in Nashville on Monday and had just one player n the COVID-19 protocol list and that was Jordan Staal. On Tuesday, their game with the Predators was cancelled due to four more players being added to that list, Foegele among them. The four players with confirmed positive tests must stay behind in Nashville and observe a 10-day isolation period in the team hotel.
