Klingberg missed Friday's practice due to illness.

The Oilers signed Klingberg to a one-year, $1 million contract two weeks ago and he made his Edmonton Oilers debut on Thursday, playing 16:39 time-on-ice, but did not practice on Friday due to an illness. It was his first game since undergoing hip surgery over a year ago after a brief 14-game stint with the Toronto Maple Leafs, where he scored five points (0G / 5A).

Klingberg is expected to make his Oilers' debut on Thursday vs. Detroit.

The Oilers signed Klingberg to a one-year, $1 million contract two weeks ago and, after practicing with the club for the past week, he will make his debut with the team on Thursday against the Detroit Red Wings. Klingberg hasn't played since undergoing hip surgery over a year ago after a brief 14-game stint with the Toronto Maple Leafs, where he scored five points (0G / 5A). The 32-year-old Klingberg isn't far removed from being one of the league's elite powerplay quarterbacks. He scored a career-high 67 points (8G / 59A) in 82 games with the Dallas Stars in the 2017-18 season. However, his production has dipped significantly in recent years, tallying only 85 points (16G / 69A) and a -60 plus/minus in his 155 most recent games. Given Evan Bouchard's dominance on Edmonton's top powerplay unit, it's unlikely that Klingberg will find himself in that position. Yet, he could still see an uptick in production considering the star power of his surrounding cast.
