‘It sucked’: Schneider on Blue Jays’ final out in loss to Twins
Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider talks to reporters about the unfortunate bounce that led to the final out in their loss to the Minnesota Twins, adding he loved how the team battled back in the ninth inning.
The Edmonton Oilers can breathe a sigh of relief.
Leon Draisaitl, who listed himself as a game-time decision on Friday, returns to the lineup for Game 2 against the Vancouver Canucks.
The centre had reduced minutes in Game 1 and appeared to be in pain. Head coach Kris Knoblauch told reporters after the 5-4 loss that Draisaitl was dealing with cramping and equipment issues.
He missed the Oilers’ practice on Thursday and optional morning skate Friday.
“I’m feeling a little better today. Just see how I feel tonight. Leave it at that,” Draisaitl told reporters Friday morning. When asked what it would take for him not to play Game 2, he said, “A lot.”
In six playoff games this post-season, the 28-year-old German has five goals and 12 points.
Forward Adam Henrique will also make his series debut in Game 2 after missing the first game with an ankle injury, slotting in on the third line. The centreman had six goals and nine points in 22 games with the Oilers after he was acquired from the Anaheim Ducks at the deadline.
Against the Los Angeles Kings, the 34-year-old had a goal and an assist.
