EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers have placed goalie Mike Smith on injured reserve with a lower-body injury.
The team has also recalled netminder Stuart Skinner from the Bakersfield Condors in the American Hockey League.
Smith was hurt in the second period of Edmonton’s 6-5 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday. He was replaced in net by Mikko Koskinen.
Head coach Dave Tippett said after the game that Smith “tweaked something” and would see a doctor on Wednesday morning.
