Edmonton Oilers star Leon Draisaitl is questionable for today's Game 2 against the Vancouver Canucks.
The 28-year-old German forward appeared to be in pain late in Edmonton's dramatic 5-4 loss to the Canucks Wednesday. He didn't participate in practice on Thursday or in the Oilers' optional pre-game skate on Friday.“I’m feeling a little better today. Just see how I feel tonight. Leave it at that," Draisaitl told reporters Friday morning.
The team has to balance a number of long- and short-term factors in deciding whether Draisaitl will play, Knoblauch said.
