In their first game under head coach Kris Knoblauch, the Oilers secured a 4-1 victory over the New York Islanders. This triumph was marked by a strong sense of unity and teamwork among the players. But viewers also saw a controversial incident involving Oilers' star Leon Draisaitl. <h2>Draisaitl Lands Dangerous Cross-Check on Horvat</h2> <div align='center' style='padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px;'><img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/338066.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /></div> During the game, Draisaitl made a cross-check on Bo Horvat of the Islanders, targeting Horvat's legs while he didn't have the puck. This action, deemed by some as a clear and deliberate foul, has sparked discussions about player safety and the potential consequences for Draisaitl. The nature of the play, specifically targeting the legs, raises concerns. As a result, there are calls for the NHL's Department of Player Safety to review the incident and consider disciplinary measures, such as a fine or suspension. <q>Fully intentional and as dirty as it gets.
