The Oilers have signed James Hamblin to a two-year, entry-level contract.
Hamblin was an undrafted free-agent out of the WHL, who is in his second season with the Oilers' AHL team in Bakersfield. The 22-year-old centre has scored 14 goals with eight assists (22 points) in 40 AHL games.
Henrique (illness) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to play Tuesday.
Nugent-Hopkins is week-to-week with an upper-body injury.
Nugent-Hopkins has returned to Edmonton to be re-evaluated but it sounds like he's going to miss approximately 2-to-3 weeks with an upper-body injury he suffered over the weekend. Brad Malone was called up from the AHL and will serve as a bottom-6 centre on Tuesday with Nugent-Hopkins unavailable.
Janmark (upper-body) will not play on Tuesday and is "not close to returning."
Janmark will miss his second straight game on Tuesday but it sounds like he could miss even more time. Head coach Pete DeBoer said that Janmark "is not close to returning," which suggests he could miss the rest of the week at the very least.
Nugent-Hopkins is expected to miss at least one week with a shoulder injury.

Janmark (undisclosed) is questionable to play Saturday vs. the Avalanche.
Janmark left in the third period of Friday's game in Arizona and did not return. Head coach Pete DeBoer did not have an update on Janmark post-game, so consider him questionable to play vs. Colorado until there is an update.
