Draisaitl will serve as a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Stars, Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal reports.

Analysis:

Things have been bleak for Draisaitl since the Oilers decided to keep him in the NHL all season back in late October. Since that time, the 19-year-old has provided a mere four points in his last 23 games. His placement in the press box is only expected to last one game for now, but it could become a regular occurrence unless he starts generating offense quickly.
