Ben Eager Injured?. Already

Ben Eager was expected to play tonight in Edmonton against the Minnesota Wild, but plans have changed. According to 630 ched?s Dan Tencer, Eager is out with injury. ?Ben Eager was originally supposed to play against Minnesota tonight. He?s been removed due to injury. Renney wouldn?t elaborate past that,? tweets Tencer.

The Oilers have not mentioned anything further concerning Eager?s injury, but Eager was hit into the boards at Sunday?s Joey Moss cup it what was really the game?s only hit by Russian defenceman Kirill Tulupov. Tulupov was not signed by his 2006 draft team, the New Jersey Devils, and is hoping to crack the Oilers? roster. It is not a certainty that Eager sustained his injury from this hit, but it is of course the first thing that comes to mind.

Eager signed a 3 year, $3.3 million contact with the Edmonton Oilers on July 1st this summer, and was brought in to help add size, experience and strenth to the Oilers? lineup. Hopefully this is a minor discomfort and Eager will be back in the lineup before the regular season starts.
