November 26, 2012, 10:19 PM

Edmonton Oilers prospect Oscar Klefbom’s season will be cut short due to a shoulder injury.

According to a report from Swedish hockey writer Johan Eriksson, Klefbom will undergo surgery and is expected to miss the remainder of the season.

The 19-year-old defenceman, who was drafted 19th overall by the Oilers in 2011, had three assists and a plus-7 rating in 11 games this season with Farjestad of the Swedish Elite League. Klefbom apparently injured his shoulder when he fell reaching for the puck while being hit.

The 6-foot-3, 205-pound defenceman is expected to be ready for Oilers training camp next season.
