The Edmonton Oilers have placed winger Taylor Hall on the injured reserve list and have recalled defenceman Keith Aulie from the American Hockey League's Oklahoma City Barons.

Hall, 22, suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee when he crashed into the Vancouver net in Edmonton's 3-2

loss to the Canucks on Saturday.

The Oilers said Sunday that Hall is expected to be out for two to four weeks.

Hall has six goals and four assists in 11 games this season.

The six-foot-six Aulie, a 25-year-old defenceman, has one assist and a minus-6 rating in eight games with the Barons.
