Report: Draisaitl's injury may be a serious cause for concern

Oilers' start to the season is far from ideal.

The Edmonton Oilers are not having the start to the season that they had hoped for. After Connor McDavid's opening night hat trick against the Calgary Flames, which gave the team a 3-0 shutout victory, the Oilers have been unable to find the win column, losing 3 straight games; the last of which was a 6-1 thumping by the Ottawa Senators on home ice.

It's becoming clear that Leon Draisaitl is a crucial part of the team's lineup - their lineup just doesn't look so threatening without him in it.

This tweet last night was pretty accurate.


Here's this morning's lineup, without Draisaitl.

The young star is suffering from concussion-like symptoms, and still has yet to hit the ice after missing Saturday night's game.
