Oilers' Benoit Pouliot: Dealing with undisclosed ailment

Pouliot (undisclosed) won't play Tuesday against the Coyotes, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.

Analysis:

Pouliot was reportedly "banged up in practice," and he could be looking at a multi-game absence. The Oilers' depth at forward will be tested while the veteran winger is in recovery mode, but his availability shouldn't be of any concern to fantasy owners. The big-bodied forward has only notched three points in his last 25 games, and he only has 10 points on the season, keeping him off the fantasy radar in most formats. Iiro Pakarinen (leg) is expected to slot into Pouliot's spot in the lineup for Tuesday's contest.
