Oilers forward Ryan Smyth to return to lineup following wrist injury
The Hockey News
The star winger was cleared to skate against the Los Angeles Kings after he worked out in practice with a plastic splint under his glove. Smyth was hurt Dec. 2 in a game against Columbus when he fell awkwardly into the end boards.
Despite the setback, Smyth still leads the Oilers in goals scored with 16.
His return is a much-needed boost for the Oilers, who have lost three of their last four games and have tumbled to seventh place in the Western Conference.
