Leon Draisaitl Breaks Century Mark in Win Over Jets
5 years agoEdmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl picked up three points Saturday night, scoring two power-play goals and adding an assist, as the Oilers topped the Jets 3-2. Draisaitl's first goal of the night was his 100th point of the season, making him only the third player in the last decade to record back-to-back 100 point seasons (Connor McDavid and Nikita Kucherov). Teammate Ryan Nugent-Hopkins joined Draisiatl with three points, scoring Edmonton's only other goal and assisting on both of Draisaitl's markers. The pair have been among hockey's most productive in February with Draisaitl and Nugent-Hopkins scoring the most points (23) and ninth most (17) points in the league respectively over the last month. With Edmonton acquiring a pair of wingers to play alongside Connor McDavid, Draisaitl and Nugent-Hopkins should continue to work on the same line for the remainder of the year.
