Draisaitl, 20, has been recalled because the Oilers are in need of a top-6 forward.

He is expected to make his season debut tonight on a line with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Taylor Hall.

The Oilers have officially sent Leon Draisaitl back to the WHL.
Draisaitl, 19, opened the season as the Oilers’ second line centre. The experiment did not really go as planned. He registered nine points (2G / 7A) in 37 games and now heads back to the Prince Albert Raiders of the WHL. It is best for Draisaitl’s development, especially in a tough year for Edmonton.

Line Change
Draisaitl will centre Taylor Hall and Teddy Purcell on Friday.
Drasaitl has a career-high ice-time of 15:22, but he will likely top that tonight while playing with Hall and Purcell. He has five points (2G / 3A) with a minus-6 rating in the first 19 games of his NHL career.
Draisaitl will play his tenth game on Wednesday, burning his first year of his Entry Level Contract (ELC).
Draisaitl, 19, scored his first NHL goal last Friday and sits with three points (1G / 2A) in hie first nine NHL games. Game 39 becomes the new deadline, if he goes back to junior before that time he will lose the first year of his ELC, but none of his unrestricted free agent status.
