Ice hockey star Leon Draisaitl and his congenial strike partner Connor McDavid have led the Edmonton Oilers to an important victory in the North American professional league NHL.
Cologne-based Draisaitl prepared all four goals in the 4-3 overtime win against the Arizona Coyotes. Two goals from league top scorer McDavid, including the decisive one after 91 seconds in extra time. It was his 60th goal of the season. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins added the Oilers’ other two goals.
In the Pacific Division of the NHL, the Oilers are in third place, which would qualify them for the playoffs. The top three teams in each of the four divisions advance to the finals, along with the top two clubs in each conference that did not qualify through the divisions.
