Leon Draisaitl Nullified For First Time In 2024 Playoffs
7 months agoEdmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl went scoreless for the first time in the 2024 playoffs in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Dallas. Having netted his ninth postseason goal in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, Draisaitl became the fifth player in NHL history to open a playoff campaign with a point streak of at least 12 games. He's also produced 16 assists in the 2024 postseason. However, Draisaitl's prolific run came to an end on Saturday when he couldn't muster any points despite seeing close to 23 and a half minutes of action. Draisaitl has gone pointless in back-to-back playoff games only four times in his career and will attempt to get back on track Monday in Game 3 on home ice.
