Leon Draisaitl returned to practicing with the Oilers this week, but hasn’t played since March 14th when he suffered a lower body injury against the Predators. What’s Draisaitl’s availability for the first round against the Ducks? TSN Oilers reporter Ryan Rishaug joined SC with Jay Onrait to discuss.

Play Leon on the Wing with Nuge at Center for the time being. Give him some lighter responsibilities and some PP time
Oilers in 5
Shaugger superstar in playoff-mode.
The last time Leon had a lower body injury, he put up 17 points in 5 games against Calgary. Just sayin
Definitely feels like the inverse of the 2017 matchup between these two teams. The question should be do the Oilers get an assist from the refs with a goalie interference call noncall with someone grabbing Dostal's pad ot not😂😂
Put Leon in only after a loss to keep the focus of the guys in the lineup high
Die Ducks sind Toast, mit oder ohne Leon.
Let Colonel Klink heal completely, we got the quacks without him, Ducks will find out the playoffs are a different story but will gain valuable playoff experience
with sports betting becoming such a huge part of the league im surprised teams are still allowed to be vague with regards to injuries. every other league has to specify what the injury is and cant just say its a upper/lower body injury
Canucks with a shameful effort
They’ll maintain he isn’t then Monday night he’s be coming out of the gate. He was already going full tilt in recent practice videos.
Everybody is way better then Leon drisytal and anybody plays way better with Connor McDavid then Leon drisytal has.Connor McDavid just needs Matt Savoie to play on his line keep Matt Savoie n.Connor McDavid together
Leon, rest is the only real answer for your injury. Don’t push it. You have the whole rest of your career to get back to the playoffs.
Sincerely
Duck’s fan 😆
Nobody knows anything about this injury
Total radio silence.
The lockdown on info has been so airtight it would make SpecOps proud.
Another 3 days until game 1…. Don't be surprise to see 29 out there he looks great already in practice
could be more slobberknockers in first round meeting between Edmonton and Anaheim
Wise move would be if you are winning😮
Let him use that time to heal properly😊
Offensive slobberknockers is exactly what I was thinking. 😂😉
Who cares! Leon Draisaitl is overrated and over paid !!
DRAISAITL IS PLAYING GAME 1.
Kris Knobloch announced that Leon Draistail and Zach Hymen returning to the Edmonton Oilers lineup for game 1 on Monday 🎉❤
I dont know what was wrong with his back?
