Edmonton Oilers star Leon Draisaitl is questionable for todayBԪַs Game 2 against the Vancouver Canucks.

The 28-year-old German forward says heBԪַs feeling better but whether he plays will be a game-time decision.

Draisaitl appeared to be in pain late in WednesdayBԪַs dramatic 5-4 Game 1 loss and didnBԪַt participate in either EdmontonBԪַs practice Thursday or FridayBԪַs optional morning skate.

He had two assists in Game 1 but was limited to 16 minutes and 43 seconds of ice time, well below the 20:41 he averaged per game in the regular season.

Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said Draisaitl was dealing with BԪַcramping and equipment issuesBԪַ that kept him off the ice.

Draisaitl has points in each of EdmontonBԪַs six playoff games this year, with five goals and seven assists across the stretch.
