Leon Draisaitl Dominates With Five-Point Game
Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl scored two goals and added three assists for a season-best five-point night in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime victory against the Senators. Draisaitl played the main part in the comeback as the Oilers trailed for the majority of the game, and they entered the final frame trailing by two goals, but the 30-year-old helped the team force overtime with his impressive offensive display. Draisaitl ranks fourth in league scoring with 90 points through 59 games (33 goals and 57 assists), and the German forward is on his way to scoring 40-plus goals and totaling 100-plus points for the seventh time in his NHL career.

Jonathan Drouin Ready to Go Wednesday
New York Islanders winger Jonathan Drouin (lower body) is ready to return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Anaheim Ducks, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. The 30-year-old was unavailable on Sunday against the Florida Panthers due to a lower-body injury. Drouin is expected to take Anthony Duclair's spot in the lineup. After enjoying a promising start to the campaign, Drouin has struggled for several months. 14 of his 20 points came in his first 17 appearances of the season, and he will enter Wednesday's contest with a 14-game point drought.

Jake Walman Avoids Major Injury Tuesday
Edmonton Oilers defenseman Jake Walman (undisclosed) avoided serious injury on Tuesday against the Ottawa Senators, according to head coach Kris Knoblauch. Walman exited the game prior to the third period of a 5-4 overtime win. The team also lost center Curtis Lazar (undisclosed) on Tuesday, and he is expected to miss at least one week of action. After picking up Connor Murphy from Chicago earlier this week, the Oilers have a capable replacement ready for Walman if needed on Friday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Health issues have limited Walman to 33 appearances this season. He has recorded 18 points (eight goals, 10 assists), 61 shots, and 53 blocks with a minus-nine rating.

Marcus Johansson Makes Early Exit Versus Lightning
Minnesota Wild left wing Marcus Johansson (upper body) didn't finish Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports. He exited the action with an apparent upper-body injury in the third period following a hit from Lightning defenseman Darren Raddysh, who was given a two-minute interference penalty on the play. After the game, Wild head coach John Hynes said Johansson "looks pretty good right now." There's hope Johansson won't miss additional time. The Swedish veteran contributed an assist on Tuesday night and has amassed 39 points (13 goals, 26 assists) in 57 contests. Minnesota's schedule gives Johansson some added recovery time, with the next game not until Friday.
