Goalie Andersen, three others to miss Oilers camp with injuries

Aug 26, 2026 | 3:02 PM

EDMONTON — Recently signed goaltender Frederik Andersen is among four players expected to miss the Edmonton Oilers’ training camp next month after he sustained an injury during off-season training.

The Oilers announced Wednesday that Andersen, along with defenceman Alec Regula and forwards Mattias Janmark and Matt Savoie, are dealing with injuries heading into the 2026-27 season.

The Oilers did not provide details of the injuries to Andersen and Savoie, who was also hurt during an off-season training session.

Janmark underwent surgery in March for a chronic undisclosed injury, and is recovering from a medical procedure performed after last season.

Andersen signed a one-year, US$2.8 million contract with the Oilers on July 1 after backstopping the Carolina Hurricanes to a Stanley Cup title. The 26-year-old from Herning, Denmark, went 13-2-0 with a 1.89 goals-against average, .913 save percentage and three shutouts in the playoffs.
