Game-time decision Monday Draisaitl (lower body) will be a game-time call for Game 1 against the Ducks on Monday, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Draisaitl has been reportedly working hard in practice in order to get back into the lineup for the start of the postseason. If the 30-year-old center does play, he figures to slot into his usual second-line role in addition to linking up with the No. 1 power-play unit. In order to suit up Monday, Draisaitl will need to be activated off injured reserve, which will be the final step in the process.

Yet to resume skating Draisaitl (lower body) has not started skating but is expected to get on the ice soon, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports Monday.

Impact Draisaitl has been on the shelf since March 15 versus the Predators due to his lower-body problem. Prior to getting hurt, the 30-year-old center was riding a nine-game point streak during which he tallied six goals and 11 helpers. At this point, there is still time for the German to get back to 100 percent before the start of the playoffs, though it could be close.
