Edmonton Oilers prospect Philip Broberg expected to miss 2-3 weeks with injury.

A potential trade target is expected to miss some time.

According to Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic, Edmonton Oilers defenseman Philip Broberg could be out of game action for the next two to three weeks with a deep bruise.

Broberg reportedly suffered the injury in a game on Feb. 10 between the Oilers’ American Hockey League affiliate, the Bakersfield Condors, and the San Jose Barracuda, the primary affiliate of the San Jose Sharks.

It was originally stated that Broberg was going to miss a couple of games due to the bruise. However, according Nugent-Bowman, the 22-year-old has been in Edmonton over the last few days to receive treatment, having sat out Bakersfield’s last five games. The projected recovery time could take Broberg until after the trade deadline.
