Edmonton Oilers announce two more emergency call ups from AHL after more injuries

Mattias Ekholm and Zach Hyman went down with injuries in the Oilers' last game, prompting the recall of the two AHL vets.

The Oilers took to social media to announce the recalls of the two veterans, who will likely get into play the Oilers game tomorrow against the Winnipeg Jets.

With the Oilers playing their second last road game in the first half of a back to back, it'll be another opportunity for the team to rest some players before playoffs.

Not only are Ekholm and Hyman now expected to miss tomorrow's game, the Oilers are already missing a litany of players: Leon Draisaitl, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Trent Frederic, Evander Kane, Jake Walman, and even John Klingberg too.

The good news is that most of these players are expected to play Game 1 of the playoffs - with the exception of Trent Frederic, and perhaps Evander Kane and Mattias Ekholm.

Still, the Oilers will have to take a slew of current players currently in their lineup out before the playoffs. Some tough lineup decisions will be made over the next few days.

The long list of injuries is becoming a fair concern for the Oilers heading into the playoffs, and if their star players will be healthy enough to withstand another long playoff run. The last week of the season will be crucial for priming the group and having them ready to go for Game 1.
