The Edmonton Oilers host the Dallas Stars on Wednesday night in a massive game. Both teams are entrenched in the playoffs but are battling for seeding before what should be a contentious first round.

Draisaitl, who got tangled up back on March 18 against Utah and suffered an undisclosed injury, is getting close to a return as Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch provided an update on his superstars on Wednesday afternoon:

It is uncertain when exactly McDavid was injured; he had six shifts in the second period against Winnipeg, with his final shift lasting 18 seconds before returning to the bench at 19:03. McDavid spoke with Oilers head athletic therapist T.D. Forss on the bench before the end of the period and did not return for the third.
