Goalie Start
Draisaitl (concussion) took part in the morning skate but will not play in Chicago.
Draisaitl will not be in the lineup tonight vs. the Blackhawks, but it sounds like he could be back in the Oilers lineup as soon as Saturday. His return will be huge for the struggling Oilers, so monitor his status leading up to this weekend’s meeting with the Flyers.
Goalie Start
Andersen will start Tuesday in Washington.
Andersen gave up three goals on 34 shots in the Maple Leafs’ overtime win in Montreal on Saturday. Andersen has won four of his first five starts this season despite posting a poor 3.76 GAA and .880 SV%—thank you high-scoring offence. Tonight he will face a high-powered Capitals team who he was 1-0-1 while allowing eight goals on 64 shots (.875 SV%) against last season.
The Oilers have placed Leon Draisaitl (concussion) on IR.
Draisaitl missed Saturday’s game vs. Ottawa and has already been ruled out for Tuesday’s contest. Draisaitl’s move to IR is likely retroactive to October 11th, when he first missed practice. The move shouldn’t have any affect on when he returns to the lineup.
Draisaitl (concussion) will miss his second straight game on Tuesday.
Draisaitl missed practice on Monday and will miss his second game in a row on Tuesday. The Oilers’ star forward remains day-to-day and the Oilers will re-evaluate him before deciding whether or not he will travel with the team on their upcoming road-trip.

Draisaitl (eye) will be held out of the lineup on Saturday.
Draisaitl has missed three practices in a row and will be held out of the lineup with an eye injury that he suffered when he was high-sticked on Monday. With Drasaitl out, Kailer Yamamoto is expected to play on the Oilers’ top line.
Line Change
Murphy will draw back into the Blackhawks lineup on Thursday.
Murphy was healthy scratched in Montreal on Tuesday to allow Cody Franson to get into the lineup, but look for the two to swap spots again tonight. Murphy, who was acquired for Niklas Hjalmarsson this offseason, has no points on three shots with seven hits in three games this season.
Goalie Start
Andersen will start Wednesday vs. the Devils.
Andersen allowed three goals on 21 shots in the Maple Leafs’ overtime win over the Blackhawks on Monday. Andersen has started the season 3-0-0 despite posting a 3.28 GAA and .892 SV%. The Great Dane will see a lot of rubber this season, but should have a ton of goal support. He will look to record his fourth straight win tonight vs. the Devils.

Goalie Start
Andersen leads the Maple Leafs onto the ice for warmups.
Andersen surrendered five goals on 35 shots in the Maple Leafs’ 8-5 win over the Rangers on Saturday. It wasn’t a great statistical outing for Andersen, who has now posted a 3.50 GAA and .903 SV% in two starts, but he has received a whopping 15 goals in support so far. Toronto like to play an up-tempo, free-wheeling game so Andersen may be under siege a lot this season, but should walk away victorious more often than not.
