Oilers Win 3-2 Over Sharks, Draisaitl Injured

News summary

Edmonton Oilers' top scorer Leon Draisaitl left Thursday's game against the San Jose Sharks with an undisclosed injury after a fall in the second period, adding to the team's injury woes as they are already missing star Connor McDavid. Despite Draisaitl's exit, the Oilers secured a 3-2 victory, with Jeff Skinner scoring the tiebreaking goal and Calvin Pickard making 27 saves. This win keeps the Oilers within two points of the Los Angeles Kings for second place in the Pacific Division. Draisaitl, who has 52 goals and 106 points this season, had just returned from a previous injury. Coach Kris Knoblauch offered no update on the severity of Draisaitl's current injury. The Oilers are preparing for a crucial matchup against the Kings as the playoffs approach in two weeks.
