Mark Fistric rejoins Oilers; may play Tuesday
Mark Fistric - D - Edmonton Oilers
March 11, 2013 - 7:55 AM ET

Mark Fistric (elbow) has rejoined his Edmonton teammates and could play on Tuesday as the Oilers conclude their nine game road trip.

Fistric suffered the elbow injury on Feb. 28 and it became infected requiring Fistric to enter have IV three times a day for a couple of days. "It hurt. It was throbbing, but at the time we had four D so you don't think about it. You just try and get through the period," Fistric said after finishing the game despite getting hurt in the second period. "After the game, I said to Ladi (Smid), is there something wrong with my elbow? He said, 'yeah, you're going to need stitches.'" He has little fantasy value so pass on him at this time.
