US EditionOilers' Leon Draisaitl Delivers Gutting Injury Update After Travelling to Germany for Treatment
Draisaitl is receiving treatment from renowned specialist Dr. Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt and may miss the start of the 2026 Stanley Cup playoffs, delaying his return.
- On Saturday, Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl traveled to Germany for treatment by renowned orthopedist Dr. Hans-Wilhelm Müller‑Wohlfahrt and warned he may miss Game 1 of Edmonton's opening-round playoff series.
- Seeking a faster recovery, Draisaitl said 'It will definitely be a few weeks' as Dr. Harjas Grewal assessed the injury could be an MCL grade affecting Game 1 readiness, and he traveled to Germany for treatment by 'Healing Hans'.
- At a Germany stadium he was seen walking stiffly but not limping during a soccer match, with stadium observers noting no brace or crutches, consistent with a possible MCL injury, Dr. Harjas Grewal said.
- Losing Leon Draisaitl means the Edmonton Oilers lose one of three key play drivers, prompting fans to fear playoff impacts and recall Mattias Ekholm's extended absence last season.
- Heavy reliance on Connor McDavid, who has played 270 games in recent years, may increase strain if Draisaitl is absent, potentially affecting playoff outcomes.
