The injury status was updated by Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch regarding 10 of the team's players leading up to their first game of the playoffs to begin shortly. <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/winnipeg-jets/winnipeg-jets-accomplish-major-feat-but-fans-worry-it-comes-with-a-cost' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>The Winnipeg Jets lost 4-1 to the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday</a> at Canada Life Centre. Goaltender Stuart Skinner, returning after eight games off after suffering a head injury, made 17 saves on 18 shots. Captain Connor McDavid, who played in his third contest since suffering a lower-body injury, contributed two assists to the win. Following the game, head coach Kris Knoblauch acknowledged the toll that recent injuries have taken but was impressed with the resiliency of his team going into playoffs. He provided a detailed update on roughly 10 players. Ekholm: Won't play first roundno exact timeline Walman: day-to-day, expect him to play Game 1 Hyman/McDavid: not tonight: playing it extremely safely Draisaitl: questionable for Wednesday, definitely expected Game 1 Frederic: not playing last two games, hopeful/question mark for Game 1 Kane: looking good, up to medical staff to clear him Stecher: day-to-day, anticipate him for Game 1 Nugent-Hopkins: expected to play tonight Josh Brown called up; Quinn Hutson to make NHL debut <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/friedgehnic/status/1911850663383810481'> </a></blockquote></div> And with their playoff spot secured, all that remains now is mounting injury woes. Top goal-scorer Leon Draisaitl, who leads the league with 52 goals, has missed five games with a lower-body injury. <h3>All signs point to Draisaitl being healthy and ready for the playoffs</h3> He expects to be back before the end of the regular season, most likely in the final game against San Jose. Knoblauch indicated he won't push him, with full health a priority for the playoffs first. The biggest thing is that we don't want to push anyone to come back sooner than they should, Knoblauch said. We're looking at the big picture and playing at their best for meaningful games and obviously that is playoff time. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins was scratched on Friday due to illness, and Trent Frederic, Jake Walman, and John Klingberg were not available. Mattias Ekholm did play Friday but left after two shifts and did not play against Winnipeg, and <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/the-worst-is-confirmed-for-mattias-ekholm-ahead-of-round-one-vs-the-kings' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>was recently ruled out for the entirety of the first round of the playoffs.</a> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Bob_Stauffer/status/1911828691707150587'> </a></blockquote></div> Evander Kane is still on long-term injured reserve and not considered available until the playoffs. Even so, though, most of the roster should be ready to play in Game 1 of the playoffs, according to Knoblauch.
