Oilers panic meter: How much do four early injuries really matter?

The Edmonton Oilers announced that four players — Frederik Andersen, Matt Savoie, Mattias Janmark, and Alec Regula — will all miss training camp due to various undisclosed injuries. Andersen, 36, was already expected to have a limited workload after averaging just 24 games over the past three seasons and suffering a knee injury during the Stanley Cup Finals with Carolina. While the news caused concern among fans, analysts note that Janmark and Regula were already fringe roster players, and some level of caution with Andersen had been anticipated since his signing on July 1.
