In case there was any doubt about Draisaitl, it is reported that he had a high ankle sprain. https://############.com/2022/05/16/...ain-in-game-7/

They quote from a medical website in this article that talks about recovery as follows:

How long does a high ankle sprain take to heal?
It might take you six to eight weeks to recover from a high ankle sprain. If you’re an athlete, your return to play might take an even longer time. Low ankle sprains generally heal quicker than this.

If Draisaitl is at 60% and working with a really bad leg, then I don't like the Oilers' chances in this series. Their goal would have been to outscore Calgary as they can't out-defend Calgary. McDavid can't play 30 minutes a night at the pace he does without being worn down.
