Leon Draisaitl scored twice and fired seven shots in 20:59 Saturday, October 24 as the Oilers fell 7-2 to the Maple Leafs. One goal came on the power play. He finished minus-2 in the blowout loss.

The performance shows Draisaitl can produce even when his team struggles. His seven shots more than doubled his recent average of 3.1 per game, and his two goals exceeded his 0.63 per game mark. Edmonton has three games left this week (Sat, Mon, Wed), giving Draisaitl strong volume appeal.

Leon Draisaitl

Draisaitl logged 20:59, slightly below his recent 21:45 a night, and led the Oilers with 3:44 of power-play time per game coming into Saturday. He anchors the first unit and averages 1.43 points per game in his recent sample of 205 games. His underlying play grades 49 out of 100 among forwards for shots, scoring chances and ice time, a measure of how sustainable his scoring is.

The two-goal effort came on seven shots, well above his typical 3.1 per game. Draisaitl averages 0.81 assists and 0.53 power-play points per game in that same sample. His three remaining games this week give him steady exposure in the Edmonton lineup, where he ranks first in power-play time among all skaters.

What to do

• Keep Draisaitl in all lineups with three games left this week.

• Use his elevated shot volume as a reason to trust him in head-to-head matchups.

• Expect his power-play role to remain secure as the top-unit center.
