With a magic goal: Draisaitl even impresses McDavid

“That's a shot that only a few people in the world can pull off - and he's one of them,” said NHL top scorer and teammate Connor McDavid about the goal in which Draisaitl shot the puck from an almost impossibly acute angle and with his skates clearly visible behind the line into the net. “I put myself in a position where I could perhaps surprise the goalkeeper a little and fire the shot quickly to have a chance,” said Draisaitl. On broadcaster NBCSN, commentators could hardly believe the shot and goal on Wednesday, even after several replays. “Most people wouldn’t even try that shot,” coach Dave Tippett said. Draisaitl had a total of four scorer points in the eighth win in the eighth duel of the season with the Senators and set up McDavid's 3-2 lead. The hat trick was the fifth of his NHL career and the second this season in a game against the Senators, against whom he now scored 21 points, more than any other active NHL professional against a single opponent in a season - and the ninth duel is still pending on Thursday. “It will be a fun final phase” Leon draisaitl The Oilers enter the last five weeks of main round games as second in the Canada Division. “I think we can still take a few steps upwards. I believe that we are on the right track, on a decent path, but that we can simply play even better as a team,” said Draisaitl. “It will be a fun final phase, a good final phase of the regular season and then possibly good playoffs too.”
