The Edmonton Oilers have finally kicked it into gear this week. After a sluggish start out of the 4 Nations break, they have won four of their last five games to jump back into contention for the Pacific Division title.

The Edmonton Oilers are not expecting Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to be back in the near future. Head coach Kris Knoblauch said after practice Monday that McDavid and Draisaitl won’t be available for any of the team’s three games this week.

NHL insider Elliotte Friedman provided an update on the injury status of Edmonton Oilers stars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl before the Oilers' 5-4 win over the Seattle Kraken. Speaking on Sportsnet's "Saturday Headlines" segment, Friedman said the team does not expect either player to miss any time in the playoffs.
