• Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Scores fluky goal early in loss

  22H ago • By RotoWire

  Draisaitl scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Wild. Draisaitl's goal came from his own end, with the puck just hopping past Marc-Andre Fleury's stick 27 seconds into the game. They all look the same on paper, and Draisaitl now has six goals to go with six assists over his last seven outings. The 29-year-old's 15 tallies this season put him in a three-way tie for the league lead, and he's added 13 helpers, 56 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 21 appearances. Draisaitl could stay alongside Connor McDavid on the top line as long as Zach Hyman (undisclosed) is out.

• Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Among best ever against Sens

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Draisaitl had a goal and two assists in a 5-2 win against Ottawa on Tuesday. Draisaitl is second all-time in career points/game (min. 25 games) against the Sens with 1.48. Teammate Connor McDavid sits on top of that list with 1.80. Draisaitl has five outings and six assists in his last six games and 27, including 14 goals, in 20 appearances this season. It was the 43rd time that McDavid and Draisaitl each had at least three points in a game. That's the most among active duos in the NHL. Overall, he is one goal from the top of the sniper list in the NHL, and with Alex Ovechkin week-to-week with a lower leg injury, Draisaitl looks to climb to the top of that chart in short order.

  Draisaitl scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Draisaitl has put up four consecutive two-point games (four goals, four assists), and he has 24 points, including 13 goals, in 18 games this season. His 13 goals tie him with Sam Reinhart of the Panthers for the league lead. Two words: fantasy gold.
