Oilers' John Klingberg: Traveling with team
Klingberg (undisclosed) is with the Oilers for their road trip, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports Wednesday.
Edmonton's next three games are all on the road versus New Jersey, the Islanders and the Rangers on Thursday, Friday and Sunday, respectively. There's no guarantee Klingberg will dress for any of those clashes, but his presence with the team leaves that door open. The 32-year-old defenseman hasn't played since March 4. He has a goal and four points in 10 appearances this season.

Oilers' John Klingberg: Ruled out versus Habs
Klingberg will not be in the lineup against Montreal on Thursday due to an undisclosed injury, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.
Klingberg's absence, along with that of Mattias Ekholm (undisclosed), will open up a spot on the blue line for Cam Dineen to play his first NHL game since 2021-22. It's unclear if Klingberg's absence is related to his surgically repaired hip. In his 10 games with the Oilers this year, the veteran has managed one goal and three helpers while logging a career-low 17:21 of ice time.

Oilers' John Klingberg: Two-point effort Thursday
Klingberg recorded two assists in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers.
The veteran blueliner failed to get onto the scoresheet in his first five games as an Oiler prior to the 4 Nations Face-Off, but in three appearances since play resumed, Klingberg has delivered a goal and four points. He's beginning to get his legs back under him after missing over a year of action following hip surgery in December 2023, but without a spot on Edmonton's first power-play unit alongside Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, Klingberg's fantasy ceiling will be limited.

Oilers' John Klingberg: Will debut Thursday
Klingberg (hip) will make his Edmonton debut versus the Red Wings on Thursday, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.
Klingberg has been sidelined since Nov. 11, 2023 due to a hip injury that he sustained against the Canucks, a stretch of more than 14 months on the shelf due to the ailment. While the 32-year-old blueliner has historically eaten up big minutes in his previous stops in his career, he probably will be eased into action with his new club.

Oilers' John Klingberg: Not ready for game action yet
Head coach Kris Knoblauch relayed Monday that it will be at least a week before Klingberg (hip) makes his 2024-25 debut, Ryan Rishaug of TSN reports.
With Knoblauch's timeline in mind, Klingberg may be an option for a divisional matchup against the Kraken on Jan. 27. The 32-year-old Klingberg signed a one-year contract with Edmonton on Friday. The right-shot blueliner last suited up in the NHL on Nov. 11, 2023. Klingberg should factor into the Oilers' No. 2 power-play unit as soon as he regains his footing.

Oilers' John Klingberg: Joining Canadian club
Klingberg (hip) signed a one-year contract with the Oilers on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Klingberg has been out of action for over a year, with his most recent NHL game coming Nov. 11, 2023, against Vancouver. The 32-year-old blueliner will look to revive his NHL career after undergoing hip-resurfacing surgery. After eight years with Dallas, Klingberg bounced around recently, playing for Anaheim, Minnesota and Toronto -- and now Edmonton -- over his last three seasons. While Saturday's clash with Vancouver likely comes too soon, Klingberg could be in action before the end of January.
