Draisaitl follows in Jagr’s footsteps: “Nights like this don’t always happen”

The striker scored four goals and added another goal in his Edmonton Oilers' 8-3 win over the Nashville Predators. As the league's best scorer, Draisaitl increased his personal record from the previous season from 105 to 107 scorer points. In addition to his 43 own goals, there are 64 assists. And there are still 16 main round matches to be played. Statistically speaking, Draisaitl is heading for around 133 points. He would have a great chance of being the first German to receive the Art Ross Trophy for the best points scorer in the league. 133 points would also be the highest scorer since superstars Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr, who scored 1995 and 96 points respectively for the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 161/149 season. McDavid also scored 5 times against Nashville In addition to Draisaitl, who was voted NHL Player of the Month for the second time in a row on Monday, his congenial strike partner Connor McDavid also had four assists and one goal against Nashville, adding five points. “Nights like this don’t always happen,” said Draisaitl, “you don’t always score five goals in a third either.” The Oilers secured their 5th win of the season in the final period (0-35), with Draisaitl scoring three times. “When you score four goals, you feel good. Feel good for yourself, for your teammates. “You made it very easy for me today,” said the 24-year-old.
