Kasperi Kapanen had to leave the NHL game between the Edmonton Oilers and the St. Louis Blues last night due to an injury.

Kapanen was injured at the end of the first period after losing his balance and crashing hard into the boards. He did not return to the ice after the incident.

Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch stated after the game that the Finnish forward will be sidelined from action. However, the injury is not believed to be serious.

– The injury is not as serious as his previous one, Knoblauch told NHL’s website.

Kapanen has played 14 games this season with the Oilers, recording 3+6=9 points. Earlier in the season, he was sidelined for 36 games due to a knee injury.
