It will be a game-time decision whether Edmonton Oilers star Leon Draisaitl will play in Game 2 of the NHL playoff series against the Canucks in Vancouver Friday night.
The 28-year-old forward missed practice with the team on Thursday but said Friday he was feeling a little bit better.“It’s an important time of year and we all want to be out there and be playing,” Draisaitl said, adding it would “take a lot” to keep him out of the game.“At the end of the day it’s my body and that’s most important… We’ll see tonight.”Draisaitl was limited to 16:43 of ice time, below the 20:41 he averaged per game in the regular season.
Knoblauch said both Draisailt and Adam Henrique, who missed Game 1 with an ankle injury, will be game-time decisions. They will take part in warmup Friday night and the decision on whether they play will be made after that.‘FLiRT’ COVID-19 subvariant dominant in Canada.
