Oilers' Draisaitl returns for marquee matchup vs. Penguins
Anthony Gruppuso-USA TODAY Sports
The Edmonton Oilers will welcome star forward Leon Draisaitl back to the lineup Tuesday versus the Pittsburgh Penguins, Sportsnet's John Shannon confirmed.
The 21-year-old has been dealing with concussion symptoms since taking a high hit Oct. 9 versus the Winnipeg Jets.
Draisaitl rejoins an Edmonton team that managed only one win in four games during his absence, and should provide an offensive jolt for a struggling Oilers squad that's averaging just two goals per game this season.
In three games, Draisaitl has one goal and two assists.
