Fantasy hockey: Draisaitl put up four points on Wednesday, but at 1.43 points per game in his recent averages his value was already priced in.

Leon Draisaitl dished out four assists and finished plus-four with two shots, two hits and a block in 19:18 Wednesday, October 7, as the Oilers beat the Ducks 5-2.

The four-point night matches the production Draisaitl already provides in his recent averages, which sit at 1.43 points per game. Managers who rostered him knew what they were getting, and this performance fits that profile rather than exceeding it.

Draisaitl's four helpers came alongside two shots in 19:18, a touch below his usual 21:45 a night. He averages 1.43 points per game in his recent sample, with splits of 0.63 goals and 0.81 assists. His power-play time sits at 3:44 a game, first among all Oilers skaters, and he contributes 0.53 power-play points per game. The two shots trail his usual 3.1 per game.

His underlying play grades 49 out of 100 among forwards, a read on how sustainable his scoring is based on shots, scoring chances and ice time. That modest process score suggests variance in results going forward. The Oilers have two games left this week, on Saturday and Tuesday, then three next week. Keep Draisaitl in lineups as usual.

What to do

• Keep Leon Draisaitl active in all formats with two games still to play this week.

• Treat Wednesday's performance as a normal night for an elite center at his recent rate.

• Do not expect every outing to reach four points given his underlying play grade.
