Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Records two power-play goals
Draisaitl scored two power-play goals on four shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.
Draisaitl scored twice in a span of 1:06 across the first intermission, bringing his season total to eight goals. The German center has scored five times over his last four appearances, highlighting his ability to produce goals in bunches, and he has cracked the scoresheet in all but one of his nine appearances to date. His continued partnership with Connor McDavid on Edmonton's top power-play unit remains a significant fantasy advantage, particularly given the Oilers' success in those situations. He has seven points (five goals, two assists) during his ongoing four-game point streak.

Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Produces pair of points
Draisaitl scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-4 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Mammoth.
Draisaitl has scored in three straight games, and he's added two assists in that span. The 30-year-old is still ceding the spotlight to Connor McDavid, but both forwards have thrived on a line together to start the year. Through eight outings, Draisaitl has six goals, eight helpers, 28 shots on net and a plus-15 rating.

Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Puts away goal in loss
Draisaitl scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Mammoth.
Draisaitl has three points over his last two outings. The 30-year-old superstar is at five goals, seven assists, 27 shots on net, four hits and a plus-11 rating across seven contests this season. Head coach Mike Babcock has stuck with Draisaitl alongside Connor McDavid to start the year despite numerous injuries to wingers, which has led to the Oilers having a great top line and little else. Regardless of role, Draisaitl is going to be productive.

Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Goal, assist in win
Draisaitl scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Kings.
Draisaitl saw his point streak snapped Saturday versus the Sharks, but he bounced back well. This was his third multi-point effort of the campaign. The German superstar has four goals, seven assists, 24 shots on net, four hits and a plus-11 rating over six appearances this season. With most of his playing time coming at right wing to open the year, he should have some extra positional flexibility in most fantasy formats.

Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Distributes four assists in win
Draisaitl recorded four assists, two shots on goal, two hits and a plus-4 rating in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.
Draisaitl played facilitator during the Oilers' five-goal second period, assisting on all of their even-strength tallies. All of the helpers were primary assists. Draisaitl hasn't gotten quite as much buzz as Connor McDavid or Evan Bouchard to start the year, but he's been virtually just as important. Draisaitl has three goals, six assists, 17 shots on net, three hits and a plus-8 rating over four contests this season.

Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Scores go-ahead goal
Draisaitl scored a goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.
Draisaitl's tally at 17:33 of the third period stood as the game-winner. The 30-year-old has three goals, two assists, 15 shots and a plus-4 rating across three contests this season. Draisaitl is also playing on the right wing on Edmonton's top line, so he could gain positional versatility in fantasy this year if he continues to stick in that spot while the Oilers deal with numerous injuries.

Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Three-point burst in win
Draisaitl scored twice on five shots, dished an assist and went plus-3 in Thursday's 9-7 win over the Canucks.
One of Draisaitl's goals came on the power play. The 30-year-old played alongside Connor McDavid in this contest as the injury-riddled Oilers opted to put one dominant line together. The offense is humming along so far, and Draisaitl has four points and 10 shots on net over two contests. He's a lock to be in fantasy lineups and should continue to produce at a high level as long as he can avoid injuries.

Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Ready for 2026-27 campaign
Draisaitl feels healthy and is hopeful for the start of the 2026-27 campaign, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports Friday.
Draisaitl was limited to 65 regular-season appearances during the 2025-26 campaign, his lowest mark over a full season during his NHL career. After missing the final month of the regular season due to a lower-body injury last year, he returned for the start of the postseason and recorded points in each of the Oilers' six first-round matchups against Anaheim. Draisaitl said that Edmonton's first-round exit gave him additional time to recover during the offseason, and he hopes that new head coach Mike Babcock will help the team find additional cohesion during the 2026-27 season. Across his 65 regular-season appearances last year, Draisaitl generated 35 goals, 62 assists, 34 hits, 26 PIM and 15 blocked shots while averaging 21:35 of ice time, and he remains one of the league's top fantasy options heading into this year.

Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Tallies twice in win
Draisaitl scored two goals, including one on the power play, and added two PIM and four shots on net in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Ducks in Game 5.
Draisaitl's first goal chased Lukas Dostal from the Anaheim net, and his second tally was a quick response to Alex Killorn's goal in the second period. The 30-year-old Draisaitl has three goals, six assists, 12 shots on net, three hits and a minus-1 rating over five games this postseason. He's a lock for massive minutes in the top six as the Oilers look to avoid elimination again Thursday in Game 6.
