Leon Draisaitl Returns to Oilers Lineup for Game 1

Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl has been activated from long-term injured reserve, returning to the lineup for Monday's Game 1 playoff opener against the Anaheim Ducks. Draisaitl had been sidelined since March 15 with a lower-body injury. While head coach Kris Knoblauch remained coy about the exact timing of his return leading up to the game, his presence provides a significant boost to the Oilers' roster for the first round.
