The German national ice hockey player from Cologne scored the 400th NHL goal of his career in the Edmonton Oilers' 3-4 (2-0, 1-2, 0-1) loss to the Calgary Flames. With the goal on the power play in the second period, Draisaitl gave last year's finalists a 3-0 lead before Calgary equalized and prevailed in the shootout. Draisaitl converted his shot, but Nazem Kadri ultimately brought the visitors to the forefront.
