VANCOUVER — Edmonton Oilers star Leon Draisaitl is questionable for Game 2 against the Vancouver Canucks on Friday.
“We all want to be out there and be playing. We love being in these moments. Obviously, it would take a lot . But we’ll see tonight.” The team has to balance a number of long- and short-term factors in deciding whether Draisaitl will play, Knoblauch said. Draisaitl had two assists in Game 1 but was limited to 16 minutes and 43 seconds of ice time, well below the 20:41 he averaged per game in the regular season.
