The Edmonton Oilers find themselves down 1-0 and in need of a win against the Vancouver Canucks. Now the team has announced that they might be without Leon Draisaitl tonight.

The Edmonton Oilers thrive on the success of their star players Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Unfortunately for the Oilers, they might be without Leon Draisaitl tonight after an injury sustained in Game 1.

Leon Draisaitl is a game-time decision for Game 2 on Friday.

He played 16:43 in Game 1, and missed part of the game due to cramping, according to Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch.

According to head coach Kris Knoblauch both Leon Draisaitl and Adam Henrique will be game time decisions heading into Game 2.

Leon Draisaitl and Adam Henrique are both game time decisions, per Kris Knoblauch. He says he expects them both to take warmup, and they'll make the decisions afterwards.

Despite the game time decision label many around the NHL believe that Leon Draisaitl will end up playing in Game 2 despite the injury.

"My sense is we will see him play tonight." - @JasonGregor on Leon Draisaitl

If Leon Draisaitl does end up being out for tonight's game Sam Carrick will come into the lineup. The Oilers would need their complimentary players to step up and try to fill the massive void left by a Leon Draisaitl absence.
