Justin Schultz: Out 2-4 weeks

Schultz will be sidelined for the next 2-to-4 weeks with a back injury.

Analysis:

Schultz likely suffered the injury in Sunday's tilt against L.A. when he was hit by the Kings' Nick Shore into the end boards. He was forced to exit that contest after taking the hit and hasn't been able to get back on the ice since. Darnell Nurse is expected to get an opportunity to skate alongside Andrej Sekera on the Oilers' top pairing in Schultz's absence.
