Head coach Kris Knoblauch relayed Monday that it will be at least a week before Klingberg (hip) makes his 2024-25 debut, Ryan Rishaug of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Knoblauch's timeline in mind, Klingberg may be an option for a divisional matchup against the Kraken on Jan. 27. The 32-year-old Klingberg signed a one-year contract with Edmonton on Friday. The right-shot blueliner last suited up in the NHL on Nov. 11, 2023. Klingberg should factor into the Oilers' No. 2 power-play unit as soon as he regains his footing.

Klingberg (hip) signed a one-year contract with the Oilers on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Klingberg has been out of action for over a year, with his most recent NHL game coming Nov. 11, 2023, against Vancouver. The 32-year-old blueliner will look to revive his NHL career after undergoing hip-resurfacing surgery. After eight years with Dallas, Klingberg bounced around recently, playing for Anaheim, Minnesota and Toronto -- and now Edmonton -- over his last three seasons. While Saturday's clash with Vancouver likely comes too soon, Klingberg could be in action before the end of January.

Klingberg will undergo hip surgery and miss the remainder of the season, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Klingberg will complete the campaign with five assists, 11 hits and 14 blocks in 14 contests. The 31-year-old defenseman, who has a $4.15 million cap hit, was put on the long-term injured reserve list Nov. 23. He can become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Klingberg (hip) has a doctor appointment scheduled for this week in New York to determine the next step in his recovery process, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Maple Leafs expect to have some clarity on Klingberg's status shortly afterward. The 31-year-old blueliner was placed on long-term injured reserve by Toronto on Thursday. Klingberg has five assists, 14 shots on goal, 14 blocked shots and 11 hits in 14 appearances this season.

Klingberg (undisclosed) was placed on the long-term injured reserve list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The move is presumably retroactive to Nov. 11, which is when Klingberg last played. If that's the case, the earliest he can be activated is Dec. 12 for Toronto's game against the Rangers. Klingberg has five assists, 11 hits and 14 blocks in 14 contests this campaign. Conor Timmins (lower body) is day-to-day at this point, so the defenseman might be activated off LTIR soon and play regularly while Klingberg is unavailable.

Klingberg (undisclosed) will miss Toronto's games against Chicago on Friday and Pittsburgh on Saturday, per David Alter of Sports Illustrated.

EDGE Analysis

There's no timetable for Klingberg's return, but it's not a great sign that he's already been ruled out for the Maple Leafs' next two contests. Klingberg has five assists in 14 games this season. He was last in the lineup Nov. 11 versus Vancouver.

Klingberg (undisclosed) has been ruled out of Sunday's tilt in Sweden versus Minnesota, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports.

Klingberg (undisclosed) is likely to miss Friday's game against Detroit, per Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun.

Klingberg has five assists, a minus-7 rating, 11 hits and 14 blocks in 14 appearances this year.

Klingberg (undisclosed) will return to the lineup versus Vancouver on Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis
