Draisaitl is up to 10 goals, 19 helpers, 11 power-play points, 50 shots on net, 23 hits, 14 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 18 playoff appearances.

He's earned a point in each of the last three games and is now at one goal, 12 helpers, 26 shots on net, 37 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 17 playoff contests. He's earned five of his assists on the power play, with all of those contributions with the man advantage coming since the start of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Seguins should be completely healthy in time for the start of training camp.
