To add to the headaches for the Edmonton Oilers, who have started 2-6-1 and are currently languishing at the bottom of the Western Conference standings, they will have to play the next four weeks without winger Taylor Hall.

Hall left Saturday afternoon's game against Ottawa after colliding with Senators defenseman Eric Gryba and an MRI revealed an ACL injury.

This is a big loss for the Oilers, as Hall is tied for the club lead with eight points and scored two goals in a franchise record eight seconds last week. This may give 2012 #1 pick Nail Yakupov an opportunity to get out of coach Dallas Eakins doghouse, as he will take Hall's place on Edmonton's top line.
