Leon Draisaitl Injury: Oilers star leaves game vs Sharks after taking multiple tumbles 

Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl exited Thursday's game against the San Jose Sharks after sustaining an apparent lower-body injury.

The injury seemingly may have worsened a pre-existing condition that sidelined him for four games late in March, though the Oilers have yet to release any detailed information.

Before leaving the ice, Draisaitl notched up an assist on the power play, bringing his total to five points across three games since his return from the earlier injury. The Oilers are already without captain Connor McDavid due to injury as well.

Leon Draisaitl clocked 10:04 of ice time before exiting the game. He has accumulated 105 points through 52 goals and 33 assists in 70 games so far this season.

Meanwhile, head coach Kris Knoblauch provided no further update on the player's condition.

"No, I don't (have an update). I haven't seen our training staff yet," Edmonton coach Kris Knoblauch said. "You never want to miss those guys. You never want your top players not to play because every time they're not in, it decreases your chances of winning because they are good players.
