Draisaitl Adds Two Assists as Oilers Blank Islanders 4-0
Edmonton stays perfect away from home, with a power-play helper in the mix and a few loose puck giveaways along the way.
Leon Draisaitl didn't score, but he still figured in half of Edmonton's four goals, finishing with two assists and a plus 1 in a 4-0 win over the Islanders.
He played 19:41 over 21 shifts, sixth among Oilers skaters and second among the team's forwards. One assist came at even strength and one on the power play. He put two shots on goal, one at even strength and one with the man advantage. He also gave the puck away three times, and he had no hits, blocks or takeaways.
That was a fairly typical night for a player with 12 goals and 14 assists through 14 games. It was a little under his season average of 21.6 minutes, and the goal drought was a break from a season in which he has scored often. Edmonton is now 5-0-0 on the road. The Islanders, who came in on a two-game winning streak, were shut out.
