After making the playoffs, ice hockey star Leon Draisaitl missed a chance with the Edmonton Oilers in the North American professional league NHL.
The German international scored his 55th goal of the season in a 2-5 draw at Columbus Blue Jackets, but the defeat doesn’t mean the Canadians have home advantage in the round of 16 of the championship round.
With a win, the Oilers (98 points) would have finished the main round in the Pacific Division safely ahead of the Los Angeles Kings (96). The Calgary Flames (108) at number one are unmatched. Draisaitl scored in the middle third to temporarily lead 2-1 (26′), after which the hosts struck four times.
National defender Moritz Seider won 3-0 with the Detroit Red Wings at the New Jersey Devils on Sunday. The Motor City team is out of the playoff race.
