The Edmonton Oilers have activated defenseman Oscar Klefbom off injured reserve, the team announced Tuesday.

The 25-year-old has been sidelined with a hand injury since Dec. 11 and has missed the team's last 21 games. The Oilers have gone 6-12-3 over that stretch, recording the fourth-fewest points in the league.

Despite his lengthy absence, Klefbom's 15 points in 31 games still rank second among all Oilers defenders.

Edmonton enters Tuesday's game against the Chicago Blackhawks just three points back of the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference.
