Description
Edmonton Oilers face a challenging stretch without star forward Leon Draisaitl, whos out for the rest of the regular season with a lower-body injury. Despite a strong start to the season, the team has been struggling since late January, sitting third in the Pacific Division. General manager Ken Bowman announced that Draisaitl could return for the postseason, but coach Kris Knoblauch suspects a hip pointer from a recent hit. The team has been dealing with goaltending issues and a weak defense, ranking thirty-first in recent rankings. With nineteen games left, including a tough road trip, the Oilers must fight for every point to secure a playoff spot without their superstar.
