NHL Playoffs: Oilers Expect Return of Star Forward Leon Draisaitl for Game 1 The Edmonton Oilers are gearing up for their highly anticipated playoff run, and a major boost to their lineup is reportedly on the horizon. Sources close to the team suggest that star forward Leon Draisaitl is expected to return for Game 1 of their series against a yet-to-be-determined opponent. Draisaitl's absence was felt in the Oilers' final regular season games, and his return could be a game-changer for the team's chances of advancing deep in the playoffs. The 27-year-old German forward is a dominant force on the ice, and his presence could give the Oilers a much-needed spark to start their postseason campaign.
