Klefbom (infection) still doesn't have a timetable for a return to action, according to the Edmonton Sun's Derek Van Diest.

Analysis:

Klefbom originally went on injured reserve with a broken finger, an injury since healed, but a leg infection is extending his absence. He still isn't skating and coach Todd McLellan has admitted that he has suffered several setbacks. The Oilers won't rush Klefbom, but would still like to see him play to evaluate whether he has a future as a top-pairing defender. That judgment may, however, not come until March.
