Leon Draisaitl suffered an injury during the Oilers' game last night, and the team has announced an official update, and it appears he will sadly be out day-to-day. The Edmonton Oilers will be without the NHL's top goal-scorer, Leon Draisaitl, for <a href='https://edmontonjournal.com/sports/hockey/nhl/cult-of-hockey/leon-draisaitl-injury-update-edmonton-oilers-trent-frederic' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>at least another game.</a> <img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/546030.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /> Head coach Kris Knoblauch announced on Friday that Draisaitl will miss Saturday's matchup against the Los Angeles Kings and will probably miss Monday's matchup against the Anaheim Ducks. Luckily for the Oilers, <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/sports-doctor-provides-prognosis-on-leon-draisaitl-after-suffering-scary-injury' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>the injury is not severe</a>, and Draisaitl should return well before the playoffs, but this still a brutal update no less, as fans and the team were really hoping he wouldn't have had to miss any time at all. He's out short-term, but we don't have a time frame. Don't believe it's going to be something that's going to head into the playoffs. We think he's gonna be back well before that. - Kris Knoblauch <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/EdmontonOilers/status/1908267946314436853'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <a href='https://www.nhl.com/oilers/player/leon-draisaitl-8477934' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Draisaitl</a>, a 52-goal, 102-point player this season (third in the NHL), seemed to aggravate a lower-body injury in the second period Thursday of a 3-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks.

Frederic was acquired from the Boston Bruins at the trade deadline, but has yet to make his Edmonton debut after suffering an ankle injury, however, he could be ready very soon. In the meantime, star captain Connor McDavid is still out with an injury he suffered on March 20 when he collided with Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey.
