Leon Draisaitl scored the game-winning goal with 1:35 left in the third period, giving the Edmonton Oilers a 3-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks. His goal came after Zach Hyman redirected a pass from Darnell Nurse to Draisaitl in the right face-off circle. The puck bounced off the post and past Ducks goalie Lukas Dostal.
This goal extended Draisaitl’s point streak to 13 games, bringing his total to 25 points (11 goals, 14 assists). Draisaitl leads the NHL with 28 goals, 21 even-strength goals and nine game-winning goals. After the game, he said:
“I take big pride in stepping up when it is needed most,” Draisaitl said. “It is always something that is really important to me and that I pride myself in. Some years, it seems to go your way in certain moments and in other years it doesn’t. That is just the way this league works. But obviously I’ll take it.”
