Breaking: Troubling News about Oilers Leon Draisaitl

leon draisaitl injury concussion

Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl has been struggling so far in the NHL season. Oilers fans have been asking the question: "What's wrong with Draisaitl?"

The 22-year-old Draisaitl missed some games earlier in the season with concussion-like symptoms. He originally suffered the injury in a game against the Winnipeg Jets back in October after a huge hit from Jacob Trouba. Draisaitl finished playing the game. The Oilers organization said it was an eye injury for several days after the injury.

An Oilers source told Sportsnet's John Shannon that Draisaitl has not been the same since the concussion.



Draisaitl has scored 6 goals and 17 points in 19 games this season, which isn't bad. But after signing that massive contract for a cap hit of $8.5M until the summer of 2025, Oilers fans everywhere must be worried about their star player's health.
