The Edmonton Oilers received a timely boost amid concern over Leon Draisaitl’s injury, with signs pointing to a possible return before the playoffs. The update offers hope as the team continues its push near the top of the Pacific Division.

The lack of updates regarding the latest Leon Draisaitl injury has led one notable medical expert to shed light on the mystery ailment.

Head Coach Kris Knoblauch confirmed that the German forward will miss tonight's meeting with the Sharks due to an injury he sustained in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Nashville Predators, scoring his 35th goal of the season before taking an awkward check on the next shift, which led to his early exit.
