The Edmonton Oilers have placed defenceman Sheldon Souray on the NHL Injured Reserve List with a left shoulder injury.

Souray was placed on the NHL Injured Reserve List after aggravating his shoulder in the Oilers' January 24th game against the Florida Panthers. He played 7:26 against the Panthers before leaving the game following the first period. The Edmonton defenceman also missed the Oilers' game versus the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday, January 29th.

Souray has missed a total of 27 games due to the injury this season. He originally suffered a second degree sprain of his left shoulder in the Oilers' game at Vancouver on October 13th.

Souray has scored 3-7-10 with 59 penalty minutes in 26 games with the Oilers this season.

Man, that sucks...

gotta feel for Sheldon and also the Oilers. the leadership void is glaring when he's not in the lineup.

Poor Oil cant catch a break (not like I want them to ).

Souray just cant stay healthy with that shoulder since his scrap early in the year.

What a mess for Edmonton. Their injury problems have just been insane this year. Souray is such a key player for them, but he just can't stay healthy.

souray has been a huge disappointment for edmonton. partly because of injury but when he has played he hasnt been nearly the force he was for montreal.

Souray has been done ever since Byron Ritchie got him with that inverted arm bar take down at the start of the season.

I'm honestly surprised Edmonton didn't complain to the league about use of martial arts take downs in fights, because with how Souray comes back in and back out of the line up it looks like his season will be mediocre at best.
