Draisaitl (lower body) will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 regular season, the team announced Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Draisaitl sustained the injury in Sunday's 3-1 win over Nashville. He will conclude the regular season with 35 goals, 97 points and 186 shots on net in 65 appearances. Assuming Edmonton secures a playoff berth, it's unclear when the 30-year-old forward will be available to return to the lineup. Jason Dickinson and Josh Samanski could see increased roles in the team's middle six during Draisaitl's absence.

Draisaitl (lower body) isn't available for Tuesday's home matchup against the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers have yet to offer a timeline for Draisaitl's return, but head coach Kris Knoblauch said Monday that the team doesn't want to aggravate or make the German forward's injury worse. The 30-year-old will continue to be evaluated in the coming days, but at this point, it seems less likely Draisaitl will be available for Thursday's matchup versus Florida as well. Jason Dickinson is expected to slot in as the second-line center while Draisaitl is sidelined.

Draisaitl (lower body) didn't participate in Monday's practice because he is still going through the evaluation process, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
EDGE Analysis
Draisaitl sustained the injury in Sunday's 3-1 win over Nashville after extending his point streak to nine consecutive games. He has amassed six goals and 11 assists during that span, giving him 35 tallies and 97 points across 65 appearances this season. There was no update on Draisaitl's status following Monday's practice, but head coach Kris Knoblauch believes the 30-year-old forward could miss some games, per Derek Van Diest of NHL.com.

Draisaitl suffered an undisclosed injury during Sunday's 3-1 win over Nashville, and there was no update on his status after the game, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.
EDGE Analysis
Draisaitl took a hit from Ozzy Wiesblatt in the first period, which resulted in the former exiting the game. Draisaitl opened the scoring against the Predators with a power-play marker, extending his point streak to nine games (six goals, 11 helpers) in the process. Considering head coach Kris Knoblauch did not have any information to relay about Draisaitl's status, the 30-year-old all-world forward should be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's home divisional matchup against San Jose.
