Oilers' Klefbom done for season after undergoing shoulder surgery

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Oscar Klefbom underwent successful shoulder surgery on Thursday and will miss the remainder of the regular season, the team announced.

The 24-year-old will require five-to-six weeks of recovery after which he will be cleared for workouts.

Back on March 14 the team announced that Klefbom was returning to the lineup after a two-game absence, while knowing that he would be having season-ending surgery soon after.

Klefbom had a career high in goals (12) and points (38) in 2016-17, but has put up just five goals and 21 points through 66 games this season.
