Oilers Thrilled with Total Team Effort that Helped Sink Sharks 5-3
Leon Draisaitl, fourth in NHL scoring with 97 points, will miss the Oilers' final 14 games due to a lower-body injury sustained after a hit during a key playoff race.
- On Tuesday, the Edmonton Oilers announced Leon Draisaitl will miss the team's remaining 14 games through April 16 after meeting with doctors Monday.
- Sunday at Rogers Place, Leon Draisaitl was hit by Ozzy Wiesblatt along the boards and limped to the bench, briefly returning before playing just 3:12 against Nashville.
- A former Hart Trophy winner, Draisaitl, 29-year-old from Germany, ranks fourth in the NHL with 97 points in 65 games and scored his 35th goal on Sunday, March 15, 2026.
- Kris Knoblauch warned the offence will dip without a player who logs 20 to 24 minutes, especially on the power play, after Draisaitl's injury on Monday.
- Given his history of playing through injuries, it remains unclear whether Leon Draisaitl will miss playoff time after Monday's evaluation, though the Oilers previously went 2-1 when he missed three mid-January games.
