Andy Sutton (groin) skated on Monday and could return to action shortly.
Sutton suffered the injury ten days ago and he was slated to miss 7-10 days so he should return any day. "I feel great, I've put in some good work this week," Sutton said. "(Assistant athletic therapist) Chris Davie and (fitness consultant) Simon Bennett have helped me with a lot of good things to help me heal quicker. While the team was on the road, I worked out twice a day. I did treatments here at the rink, then went and did a workout at Simon's gym. I was riding the bike like a madman." Keep him on your reserve list until he actually plays a game.

Andy Sutton was unable to play on Thursday with a groin injury.
Sutton took the pre-game skate but then decided he wasn't well enough to go, leaving the Oilers with only five defensemen. It got worse in the third period when Corey Potter was forced to leave the game with a sprained ankle. Sutton apparently re-aggravated an old groin injury so it is unknown when he will return.

The fact that the Edmonton Oilers defenseman is a "repeat offender" could work against him.
TSN's Bob McKenzie believes that Andy Sutton could be suspended 6 games or more for his hit to Gabriel Landeskog's head. Sutton was suspended once and fined another time for hits in 2010, so he has a history with the league's disciplinarians. We'll find out on Monday, when the disciplinary hearing will be held.

Andy Sutton could be facing a suspension from the NHL for hit elbow to the head of Gabriel Landeskog Friday.
Colorado's Shane O'Brien came in and fought Sutton after the hit. Landeskog was able to play the remainder of the game but the NHL is really frowning on hits to the head and Sutton should expect a call from Brendan Shanahan on Saturday. Sutton scored his first goal of the season against Colorado, his first goal in 18 months. Stay tuned.

Andy Sutton has yet to play a pre-season game for the Oilers due to the birth of his daughter.
Sutton, who is expected to add a lot of toughness to the Oilers blueline, came late to camp awaiting the birth of his child. He was dealt to Edmonton in exchange for Kurtis Foster. He has some fantasy value in pools that use penalty minutes as a category.
