Edmonton Oilers forward Benoit Pouliot may be out of the lineup for a while.
It's believed that Pouliot suffered a separated shoulder during the third period of Sunday's game against the New York Islanders, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Adding fuel to the report is Pouliot arriving to the rink Monday with his right arm in a sling.
Pouliot has recorded 14 goals and 22 assists in 55 games for the Oilers this season.
