With his 49th goal of the season and a hit in the shootout, national hockey player Leon Draisaitl helped the Edmonton Oilers win against the Los Angeles Kings.
At 4:3, the man from Cologne made it 2:1 in the meantime and was the first to score in the penalty shootout. Draisaitl rejoins Toronto Maples Leafs’ Auston Matthews as the NHL’s top scorer.
The National Hockey League’s top scorer is still Draisaitl’s teammate Connor McDavid, who now has 100 points with one goal and one assist. Draisaitl is at 97.
Despite two assists, Moritz Seider left the ice with a disappointment. His Detroit Red Wings lost 4-5 to the New York Rangers in overtime.
With 39 assists, the national ice hockey player remains by far the most successful NHL newcomer in this category and continued to advertise on his own behalf for the award as the best new player of the season.
