Edmonton Oilers forward Matt Hendricks did not return to Thursday's game against the Nashville Predators after injuring his leg blocking a Shea Weber shot in the first period.
The team made the announcement during the first intermission. X-rays came back negative but coach Dallas Eakins told reporters Hendricks is having trouble bending his knee.
Hendricks played in all 22 games for the Oilers entering Thursday's contest.
