Oilers' Leon Draisaitl out for the rest of the regular season because of injury
EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) --- Standout Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl is
expected to miss the rest of the NHL regular season because of what the team
called a lower-body injury.
The Oilers announced his status Tuesday, ruling him out for their remaining 14
games through April 16.
Draisaitl left a game Sunday against Nashville after getting bumped hard by the
Predators' Ozzy Wiesblatt during the first period and did not return. It was
not immediately clear what the injury was or whether Draisaitl will miss any
time once the playoffs begin on April 18.
The 30-year-old from Germany ranks fourth in the league in scoring with 97
points in 65 games. Draisaitl won the Hart Trophy as MVP in 2020 and was the
runner-up last season.
