Edmonton forward Ethan Moreau can’t play or practise for the time-being because of a neck problem that has been bothering him, the team’s medical staff told the Oilers captain on Friday.
It will be a second straight missed game for Moreau. After playing against in Nashville on Tuesday in the first game following the Olympic break, he also sat out Wednesday’s 5-3 loss in Chicago on Wednesday.
Moreau’s condition will continue to be monitored; the injury isn’t expected to be season-ending.
