Draisaitl Returns to Oilers Lineup, Centers Second Line After Absence

Leon Draisaitl (personal) has returned to the Edmonton Oilers lineup after a three-game absence, centering the second line with Vasily Podkolzin and Jack Roslovic. He will also resume his prominent role on the No. 1 power-play unit. His return allows the Oilers to revert to a standard 12 forwards and six defensemen configuration, with Alec Regula exiting the lineup. Draisaitl was held pointless in the Oilers' 6-2 loss to the Penguins.
