Overview
- Henrique exited Tuesday’s 6-2 win over the Predators after two shifts totaling 2:25, with no official details on the injury.
- The IR stint effectively rules him out for the pre-break schedule, projecting an absence of roughly 14 to 15 games.
- Coverage points to Edmonton’s late-February California trip as a plausible window for his return, including a Feb. 25 game in Anaheim.
- Edmonton is evaluating replacements, with reports indicating Trent Frederic will reenter the lineup and Andrew Mangiapane also under consideration.
- Henrique has 10 points in 43 games but has provided defensive value, leading Oilers forwards with 57 blocked shots and posting a 54.8% faceoff win rate.
