After the botched start to the NHL season, Leon Draisaitl caused the first bang. The German ice hockey star almost single-handedly leads the Edmonton Oilers to their first victory. See the highlights in the video here.
With his best performance of the season, national ice hockey player Leon Draisaitl led the Edmonton Oilers to their first win in the NHL. The 27-year-old from Cologne scored four points in the 6-1 win against the Nashville Predators on Tuesday evening (local time).
In addition to his goals to make it 1-0 and 5-1, he also prepared Zach Hyman’s 2-0 and Connor McDavid’s 4-0. After three games this season, Draisaitl now has seven scorer points. After the two defeats against the Vancouver Canucks with a goal difference of 4:12, the win against Nashville was the hoped-for liberation for the ambitious team from Edmonton.
Draisaitl breaks an Oilers record
Draisaitl also set an Oilers record with his two goals from power-numbered situations. His opening goal was the 127th goal of his career from a power play, overtaking Ryan Smyth and Glenn Anderson and later extending the record to 128 such goals. He needed 641 games to set the record, while Smyth and Anderson needed 971 and 845 games respectively.
In 24 games against Nashville so far, Draisaitl also has a strong record of 24 goals and 15 assists. “Sometimes it works better against certain teams than against others,” said Draisaitl. “I’m sure it’ll stop at some point. I hope I can extend it for a few more games.”
