Schultz (back) will not play Friday against Detroit, but will be activated prior to Saturday's contest, Derek Van Diest of the Edmonton Sun reports.
Analysis:
Schultz was believed to be a candidate for Friday's contest, but it appears his return will be pushed back to Saturday. His absence lasted a month, but he'll be welcomed back to the Oilers' blue line. Griffin Reinhart (who was scratched Friday) appears to be a potential candidate to be reassigned to the AHL upon Schultz's return.
