Germany, who have been weakened by an injury to a key forward, are about to get some welcome help from the NHL. “I am of course still very disappointed about being eliminated from the playoffs,” Draisaitl was quoted by the SID news agency as saying. “I had one eye on the world championship the whole time and I am looking forward to helping the team on home soil,” the Cologne native added. However, it remains to be seen whether Draisaitl will be in the lineup when Germany face Italy on Saturday evening. After four of their seven Group A games, Germany are in fifth place, two points behind Sweden.
