EDMONTON — Edmonton Oilers forward Adam Henrique has been ruled out of the second game of an NHL playoff series against the Anaheim Ducks.

Edmonton’s fourth-line centre was injured in the first period of Game 1 when he collided with teammate Kasperi Kapanen in front of the Oilers’ net.

The 36-year-old Henrique skated off the ice without assistance.

Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch says he isn’t sure how long Henrique will be out of the lineup.

Edmonton won 4-3 after squandering an early two-goal lead.
