Leon Draisaitl is expected to return from a lower body injury at some point in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. "Same plan as before, just going day by day," Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said. "I anticipate him joining us sometime in the first round, whether it's Game 1, Game 4 or Game 5, whatever it is, but right now, it's just day by day." Draisaitl sustained a lower-body injury in a 3-1 win against the Nashville Predators on March 14 when he was hit into the boards by Predators forward Ozzy Wiesblatt at 4:20 of the first period. He returned for two shifts toward the end of the period but did not play the second or third. Edmonton announced he was expected to miss the remainder of the regular season two days later. Draisaitl is ninth in NHL scoring with 97 points (35 goals, 62 assists) in 65 games. Edmonton does not yet know it's playoff opponent and will open the postseason either Sunday or Monday.
