Oilers’ Leon Draisaitl Seeks Treatment in Munich, Says Recovery Will Take ‘a Few Weeks’

The star forward has been shut down for the rest of the regular season after a March 15 lower-body injury.

Overview

  • Draisaitl is in Munich receiving care from Dr. Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt, the renowned physician long associated with Bayern Munich and Germany’s national team.
  • In a brief Sky Sport interview at a Bayern match, he said his recovery "will definitely take a few weeks."
  • Edmonton has ruled him out for the remainder of the regular season following the lower-body injury.
  • The injury followed a hard hit from Nashville’s Ozzy Wiesblatt during the Oilers’ 3–1 win on March 15.
  • He finishes the regular season with 35 goals and 62 assists for 97 points, and his timeline leaves his availability for the playoffs’ opening games uncertain as Edmonton sits second in the Pacific but only five points above the Western Conference cutline.
