Scottie Upshall: Cut by Oilers
Scottie Upshall was released from his professional tryout by Edmonton on Monday.Considering the wealth of young forward depth the Oilers have, it shouldn't come as a shock to see the veteran cut loose ahead of the season. The 34-year-old may struggle to find a new landing spot, which could mean the end of his professional career. If this is it, the winger would retire with 138 goals and 147 assists in 759 NHL contests.

Oilers' Scottie Upshall: Passes physical Monday
Scottie Upshall (knee) has passed his physical and will join the Edmonton Oilers on the ice Monday, Jason Gregor of OilersNation.com reports.Apparently Upshall needed a few extra days in order to pass his physical, which still doesn't bode well for his chances of securing a permanent deal from the Oilers. A wealth of young talent -- including Jujhar Khaira and Anton Slepyshev -- stand in Upshall's way of landing a spot on the 23-man roster for Opening Night against New Jersey.

Oilers' Scottie Upshall: Fails medical
Scottie Upshall (knee) failed his medical examination with the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday, Mark Spector of Sportsnet.ca reports.Upshall's failed medical doesn't technically end his professional tryout agreement with Edmonton, but now that he's expected to be sidelined for several weeks, there's virtually no chance he'll make the Opening Night roster. The 33-year-old forward will likely try to catch on with another NHL club if and when he's released from his PTO with the Oilers.

Oilers' Scottie Upshall: Inks PTO with Edmonton
Scottie Upshall agreed to a professional tryout contract with Edmonton on Sunday.Selected sixth overall in the 2002 NHL Draft, Upshall recorded seven goals and 19 points in 63 games with the Blues last season. Even though he missed the stretch run with a lacerated kidney, that was his best point total since the 2013-14 campaign. The 34-year-old winger could provide some veteran leadership to a relatively young Edmonton Oilers squad, but even if he makes the roster he likely won't play a big role. At the very least, he could provide some physicality in a bottom-six capacity.

Blues' Scottie Upshall: Out for season with lacerated kidney
Scottie Upshall will miss the rest of the season with a lacerated kidney he suffered during Saturday's game against the Coyotes, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic St. Louis reports.Upshall was in his second game back from a 10-game hiatus due to a knee injury, but he took a huge hit from Arizona's Luke Schenn and couldn't return afterwards. The 34-year-old winger has averaged just 10:51 per game, but he's a lineup fixture and was made a healthy scratch just three times this season because of multiple costly penalties. This is the third season-ending injury the St. Louis Blues will endure within a two-week span, as defensemen Jay Bouwmeester (hip) and Carl Gunnarsson (knee) both are out for the year, so they will likely turn to Tage Thompson or recall Samuel Blais to fill the void. Upshall will finish the campaign with seven goals, 19 points, 119 hits and 46 PIM in 63 games.
