Daniel Nugent-Bowman: Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch didn’t have an update on McDavid or Skinner after the game.
Jim Matheson: Oilers Leon Draisaitl got tangled up with Utah Hockey Club defenseman Olli Maatta in their last game. It’s not serious but they are being cautious with him.
Gerry Moddejonge: Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said that Draisaitl is day-to-day.
“It’s definitely being cautious. We’re near the end of the regular season, hitting the playoffs. We want 100 percent from Leon when he’s healthy and this is something we do not want to linger. We feel this is something he probably could play through, maybe it’s not an issue, we certainly don’t want it to be an issue for the long-term. So this is definitely the right play, we believe.”
