Edmonton Oilers winger Benoit Pouliot will be out for over a month with a broken foot sustained in Friday's loss to the New Jersey Devils.

Head coach Dallas Eakins said Saturday that Pouliot is expected to miss five-to-six weeks with the injury.

The Oilers forward left Friday's game in the second period after blocking a shot and did not return.

He had eight points in 20 games this season.
