German superstar of Edmonton Oilers Leon Draisaitl hit an incredible 17 power points in just five matches in a series of matches against Calgary Flames.
This is the third hardest reading in NHL history in a single playoff series. Edmonton won the series 4-1.
The record is held Rick Middletonwho scored 19 points in the division final against Buffalo in the Boston Bruins in 1983.
He has been considered the second best player of all time Wayne Gretzky, who scored 18 points at a time in a playoff series. This happened at the spring 1985 conference event.
Draisaitl scored at least three power points in each match of the Calgary series. In two matches, four points were scored. Draisaitl scored two goals for the Calgary net.
The value of Draisaitl’s reading is enhanced by the fact that he only needed five matches for it. Middleton set a record in seven matches and Gretzky needed six matches.
He shares the third place with the tank-like “German Mörkö” Mario Lemieuxwho scored 17 points in the Pittsburgh Championship Spring 1992 opening round.
In addition, Draisaitl’s score is bright in the very 21st century. The previous millennium record was kept in its name Alexander Ovethkinwho scored 8 + 6 = 14 in seven matches in the spring 2009 series against Pittsburgh.
Draisaitl leads the NHL playoffs stock exchange along with his teammates Connor McDavidin with. After two rounds, each has identical powers 7 + 19 = 26.
