Leon Draisaitl

Draisaitl played 24:28 against the Canucks, nearly three minutes more than his recent average of 21:45 a night. He logged 3:44 of power-play time per game in his sample, ranking first among all Oilers skaters in that category. His seven shots more than doubled his typical 3.1 per game, though the three points sit just above his 1.43 average.

His recent averages show 0.63 goals and 0.81 assists per game, with 0.53 power-play points mixed in. He adds just 0.5 hits and 0.2 blocks per game, making him purely a scoring option. Edmonton has two games left this week (Monday and Wednesday) and four next week, giving him a solid schedule to maintain his production level.

What to do

• Keep Draisaitl in your lineup for Edmonton's games on Monday and Wednesday.

• Expect his scoring to remain near his recent 1.43 points per game average over time.

• Do not chase his seven-shot night, as that sits well above his 3.1 average.
