EDMONTON — Leon Draisaitl could not have made a much bigger impact in his return to the Edmonton Oilers' lineup.
Then in extra time, Jeff Skinner dropped the puck back to Draisaitl in the slot and he blasted a shot past Wolf 2:25 into overtime for the win. It was Draisaitl’s sixth overtime goal this season, setting a new NHL record. “That’s an urgent group over there, obviously they’re in a fight. And so are we,” he said. “I thought it was great the way we stuck with it, that was really well done. Sometimes they’re not all pretty, but I thought we played a solid game.
There are only two active players in the NHL with four 50-goal seasons to their credit — Draisaitl and some guy named Alex Ovechkin.“In on all three goals and some pretty big plays, key ones, probably the most key the tying goal coming down the rink and sniping that,” he said. “I'm sure he garnered a few votes for some hardware after the season.”
