TRAINER'S ROOM
Salo had a broken heart after letting in that 90-footer from somebody named Vladimir on the Belarus team in the crushing Swedish Olympic loss, but other than that all's well on the injury front with the Olympians.
Pittis may have a concussion, though, after Laraque got his forearm up and clubbed Pittis during a 4-on-4 scrimmage last Friday. Pittis has been feeling dizzy riding the exercise bike and hasn't been on the ice. It was an accident, but the last thing you need to see is a player hurt by a teammate.
Pittis may go on injured reserve, which would allow the club to recall rookie winger Jani Rita from Hamilton. The Oilers have been dying to look at Rita.
Defenseman Steve Staios will come off IR (groin) and likely play in the first post-Olympic game against Nashville.
