Edmonton Oilers' Vincent Desharnais undergoes evaluation for injury
Vincent Desharnais will undergo evaluation for an undisclosed injury sustained during the game against the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday, per Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton.
While Desharnais continued playing, he saw limited ice time in the third period and did not seek treatment in the locker room.
Desharnais has struggled to contribute offensively, failing to register a point in his last 13 games. If he is unable to play due to injury, Troy Stecher is expected to take his place on the bottom four lines.
