Published
Edmonton Oilers superstar Leon Draisaitl was not in the lineup against the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday.
However, Draisaitl reportedly had a good skate Saturday morning and could return to the lineup sooner than later, according to TSN's Ryan Rishaug.
The 27-year-old centre missed Friday's win over the Seattle Kraken with head coach Jay Woodcroft saying that Draisaitl was nursing some bumps and bruises.
Draisaitl has 21 goals and 36 assists in 36 games so far this season.
The Cologne, Germany, native is second in the NHL with 57 points, trailing only teammate Connor McDavid at 72.
