Janmark underwent surgery in March for a chronic undisclosed injury, and is recovering from a medical procedure performed after last season.
Andersen signed a one-year, US$2.8 million contract with the Oilers on July 1 after backstopping the Carolina Hurricanes to a Stanley Cup title. The 36-year-old from Herning, Denmark, went 13-2-0 with a 1.89 goals-against average, .913 save percentage and three shutouts in the playoffs.
The Oilers, who have struggled to find stability in goal, also have veteran Tristan Jarry and prospect Devon Levi heading into camp.
