Benoit Pouliot: (Broken Foot) Out Five-To-Six Weeks

Pouliot (broken foot) will miss five to six weeks, Jack Michaels of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

Analysis:

The lengthy absence wasn't unexpected given the nature of the injury, which Pouliot suffered during Friday's game against the Devils. The recovery timetable puts him on track to return in early- to mid-January, but a more definitive date probably won't be pinned down until he resumes practicing.
