Ice hockey player Leon Draisaitl has once again demonstrated his outstanding form in the North American professional league NHL. The Edmonton Oilers striker led the team from Canada to a 6-3 (1-0, 4-2, 1-1) win against the Vegas Golden Knights with a goal and two assists. It was not only the Oilers’ fifth win in a row, but also the fifth game in a row in which the world-class professional was able to score at least two more points.
Draisaitl scored his 22nd goal of the season to make it 4-0 (31st minute) and prepared the goals from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (18th) and Connor Brown (27th) with his assists numbers 22 and 23. The 29-year-old is still on course for the playoffs with the Oilers.
The Ottawa Senators and top striker Tim Stützle were also able to extend their winning streak. The 22-year-old’s team beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-2 (1-0, 0-0, 1-2, 1-0) after extra time and won for the third time in a row. Defender Moritz Seider scored his fourth goal of the season for the Detroit Red Wings in a 4:2 (1:0, 1:1, 2:1) win over the Toronto Maple Leafs.
There was a defeat for JJ Peterka and the Buffalo Sabres. The national striker remained without a goal in the 2:4 (1:1, 1:1, 0:2) defeat by the Washington Capitals. Goalkeeper Philipp Grubauer lost with the Seattle Kraken against the Tampa Bay Lightning 1:5 (1:2, 0:0, 0:3). The San Jose Sharks lost to the Utah Hockey Club with Nico Sturm 3:4 (1:1, 1:1, 1:2). Lukas Reichel had no chance with the Chicago Blackhawks in their 1:4 (0:0, 1:0, 0:4) defeat at the New Jersey Devils.
