Draisaitl Cashes Two Power-Play Chances in Edmonton's OT Win
Both of his goals came with the man advantage, and Minnesota still pushed the Oilers to overtime before a 4-3 final.
Leon Draisaitl scored twice, both on the power play, in a 4-3 overtime win over Minnesota. He played 24:06, third among Oilers skaters and second among the team's forwards.
The first goal came at 19:57 of the opening period. The second followed at 1:03 of the second. At even strength he had no points, with one shot on goal. On the power play he took three shots on goal and scored on two of them. He finished with four shots in all.
It wasn't a clean night. He was -2 and gave the puck away three times, with one takeaway. He had no hits and no blocked shots.
The two goals lift his season total to 8 goals and 8 assists in nine games. Three of those goals have now come on the power play. A night of two goals on four shots fits the way he has finished chances this season, with 31 shots producing those 8 goals.
Edmonton moves to 6-1-1 on the year, and Draisaitl's power-play finishing was a big part of the win.
