Draisaitl Makes Dirty Cross-Check on Islanders Star

The Oilers' new head coach, Kris Knoblauch, took part in his first game with the organization. Players made a solid effort, resulting in a huge 4-1 win against the New York Islanders.

However, an incident involving Leon Draisaitl has raised concerns that could be reviewed by the NHL's Department of Player Safety.

Should the Department of Player Safety Address Draisaitl's Controversial Play?

Draisaitl delivered a cross-check to Bo Horvat's legs after he had gotten rid of the puck.




Draisaitl's intent are clear: he wanted to hurt the other player. Such actions involving leg cross-checks can pose significant risks, potentially resulting in severe injuries.

Do you think Draisaitl should be fined?
