Oilers to Use Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on Same Line Thursday

Edmonton Oilers forwards Connor McDavid (ankle) and Leon Draisaitl will start Thursday's Game 6 against the Anaheim Ducks on the same line, Gerry Moddejonge of NHL.com reports. Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch has decided to pair his two superstar forwards to ease the load on McDavid, who is dealing with an ankle injury. Additionally, the team is in desperation mode, facing a second consecutive elimination game. It was the duo of McDavid and Draisaitl who made the biggest impact as Edmonton survived Game 5 on Tuesday with a 4-1 win. Draisaitl scored half of Edmonton's goals, with McDavid assisting him on both. In an ideal scenario for the Oilers, this will happen again on Thursday night. Kasperi Kapanen will have the privilege of accompanying McDavid and Draisaitl, giving him additional fantasy value.

Leon Draisaitl Expected to Return Monday

Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl (lower body) is expected to return to action on Monday against the Anaheim Ducks, ESPN's Emily Kaplan reports. On Monday morning, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said Draisaitl was a game-time call. The star forward has been out for 14 games with a lower-body injury. But he looks good to go for Game 1 against the Ducks after the team activated Draisaitl from long-term Injured Reserve ahead of Monday's contest. Draisaitl's return to the lineup will be a major boost for the Oilers, as he's averaged 1.47 points per game in 96 career postseason appearances -- only four players have a higher scoring rate in Stanley Cup Playoffs history.

Leon Draisaitl Could Be Ready for Game 1 Against Ducks

Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl (lower body) could return to action on Monday night against the Anaheim Ducks, Derek Van Diest of NHL reports. The German superstar didn't play in the final 14 regular-season games due to a lower-body injury. "The way the Edmonton Oilers forward was skating in practice Sunday seemed to indicate he'll be in the lineup for Game 1," Van Diest writes. It was initially feared that Draisaitl would not be healthy for the start of the playoffs. However, he's had a week's worth of practices under his belt and seems to have a strong chance to return on Monday. In two regular-season contests against the Ducks, Draisaitl recorded four assists.

Leon Draisaitl Returns to Practice

Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl (lower body) rejoined practice on Monday, Derek Van Diest of NHL.com reports. This was his first practice with his teammates since suffering a lower-body injury on March 15 against the Nashville Predators. The German superstar is nearing a return to action, but it's unclear whether he will be available at the start of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs. "I'm going to see how I feel by the end of the week, and hopefully it feels great and maybe I'm an option (for Game 1) or maybe it's a couple of games later. We'll see," Draisaitl said. Due to his injury, Draisaitl failed to reach 100 points this season for the first time in five years, finishing with 35 goals and 62 assists in 65 appearances.

Leon Draisaitl to Miss Remainder of Regular Season

Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl (lower body) has been ruled out for the rest of the 2025-26 regular season. Draisaitl sustained a lower-body injury in Sunday's win over Nashville. The early end to his season means that Draisaitl will fall just short of posting a fifth consecutive 100-point campaign. He has tallied 35 goals and 62 assists in 65 outings. Jason Dickinson is expected to assume second-line center duties on Tuesday against the San Jose Sharks. Since moving to Edmonton, Dickinson has contributed one goal in six games offensively. He will have a better chance to make an impact on the second line.

Leon Draisaitl Exits Early with Injury Sunday

Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) logged only 3:12 of ice time in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Nashville Predators, exiting the action after the first period. The German superstar was injured early in the game and tried to return, but he couldn't finish the contest. "He didn't feel right. He went off, he got checked out, felt like he could play on it," Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said postgame. "The medical staff looked at him and they were comfortable with him trying it out. He went out and he just didn't feel quite right. The fact that the medical staff said it doesn't seem too bad and there's no immediate red flags, it tells me that it shouldn't be a really long injury." Luckily, Draisaitl appears to have avoided a serious injury, though he could still miss some action. Before exiting on Sunday, Draisaitl extended his point streak to nine games with a power-play goal.

Leon Draisaitl Dominates With Five-Point Game

Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl scored two goals and added three assists for a season-best five-point night in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime victory against the Senators. Draisaitl played the main part in the comeback as the Oilers trailed for the majority of the game, and they entered the final frame trailing by two goals, but the 30-year-old helped the team force overtime with his impressive offensive display. Draisaitl ranks fourth in league scoring with 90 points through 59 games (33 goals and 57 assists), and the German forward is on his way to scoring 40-plus goals and totaling 100-plus points for the seventh time in his NHL career.

Leon Draisaitl Tallies Four Points Against Kings

Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl had his third four-point game of the season on Thursday night, finishing an 8-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings with a goal and three assists. The German superstar potted a power-play goal in the third period to become only the fifth player born outside North America to record at least eight consecutive seasons with 30 markers. He has also recorded 54 assists in 57 appearances. With 84 points, Draisaitl is fourth in the league. Meanwhile, only his partner in crime, Connor McDavid (40), has managed more power-play points than Draisaitl (36). The deadly duo will look to close out the week in style on Saturday against the San Jose Sharks, who have a 78.7 percent penalty kill.

Leon Draisaitl Takes Leave of Absence

Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl (personal) has taken a leave of absence and won't play on Saturday night against the Vancouver Canucks. The German superstar has returned to his native country due to a family illness. Edmonton expects to have him back next week. Draisaitl is having another phenomenal season, posting 67 points (25 goals, 42 assists) in 48 games. Andrew Mangiapane is expected to re-enter the lineup on Saturday, with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins taking over the second-line center role. Meanwhile, Vasily Podkolzin will replace Nugent-Hopkins on the first line. The Russian forward will have additional fantasy value as Connor McDavid's partner.

Leon Draisaitl Has Three Points in Tuesday's Loss

Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl once again did the business against the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night but didn't get to celebrate a victory, notching three points in a 4-3 overtime loss. In NHL history, only Jerome Iginla has tallied more points against Nashville than Draisaitl, who had an even-strength goal and two power-play assists this time in the matchup. With the effort, Draisaitl extended his point streak to five games. He has averaged two points per game during that run, posting five goals and five assists. In 47 games, Draisaitl has posted 67 points (25 goals, 42 assists), which puts him tied for fourth among all scorers this season. He's also second in the league with 31 power-play points (11 goals, 20 assists).

Leon Draisaitl Reaches Special Milestone During Four-Point Night

Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl surpassed 1,000 career points during Tuesday's 6-4 road win against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He needed only one point to become the first German player in NHL history to reach 1,000 career points in the regular season. Draisaitl finished the contest with four points, all coming through assists. The former MVP helped set up three power-play goals. This was Draisaitl's 824th career game, making him the fifth-fastest player born outside North America to reach the 1,000-point mark. Edmonton's No. 29 is a scoring machine and has showcased it in style this month, averaging two points per game across eight outings. For the season, Draisaitl has posted 17 goals and 47 points in 34 games.

Draisaitl had his 28th career four-point game, surpassing Mark Messier on Edmonton's all-time list to take the fourth spot. Connor McDavid also had four points (three goals, one assist) on Thursday, so the Oilers' leaders really stepped up in this game.

Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl finished Wednesday's 6-3 defeat against the Dallas Stars with three points.

The 2024/25 Rocket Richard Trophy winner sat out the last seven regular-season games due to an undisclosed injury and appeared in only three of the final 14 contests.
