Draisaitl's Injury: Oilers Await Playoff Return

On March 22nd, Edmonton Euler star, Leon Dreisadel, is out with a lower body injury and has been

sent to Germany for specialized treatment.

The team announced on Tuesday that he will miss the rest of the regular season after

getting hurt against the national predators on March 15th.

Earlier this week, the Euler said his recovery timeline points to a return right at the end

of the regular season, with hopes he will be ready for.

The playoffs.

Dreisadel himself mentioned it could take a few weeks, which has not shifted the team's

outlook so far.

Euler's fans are scratching their heads over the mixed messages from the player and the

organization.

Sports net insider Elliott Freeman noted on Hockey Night in Canada that everyone wants

clarity on whether Dreisadel will be good to go when the postseason starts.

He has already sat out three games, including Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

If he does not play again this season, his line ends at 35 goals in 97 points over 65

games, snapping the streak of 4.

Straight 100 point campaigns.

Meanwhile, teammates like Conor McDavid and Ryan Nugin Hopkins have perfect playoff

attendance over the last four post seasons, just like Dreisadel.

The focus now stays on his rehab progress and getting the team deep into the playoffs.
