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.
