Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl will miss the remainder of the NHL regular season due to a lower-body injury. The team announced Tuesday he is out through April 16.
Draisaitl suffered the injury Sunday against the Nashville Predators following a hit by Ozzy Wiesblatt. The league's fourth-leading scorer with 97 points, his playoff status remains unconfirmed. Head coach Kris Knoblauch emphasized caution regarding the veteran's recovery.
