Signs of life from the Oilers: Draisaitl with two assists in Colorado

Cologne (SID) Leon Draisaitl and the Edmonton Oilers have finally celebrated a sense of success again in the NHL professional ice hockey league after six defeats in a row. The team around the young star from Cologne won 4-2 on Sunday against the strong Colorado Avalanche, who had won the last ten games at home. For the Avalanche, Draisaitl set up Connor McDavid's important equalizer to make it 2-2 and contributed another assist to make it 4-2. McDavid scored three of the four goals for the visitors. On Saturday (local time) the Oilers suffered a 0-1 defeat at the bottom team Arizona Coyotes. Draisaitl (22) remained without a shot on goal in 19:01 minutes of action. Tobias Rieder (25) tried three times against his opponent without success and didn't get a scorer point. Arizona now has 44 points. Philipp Grubauer experienced a very bitter evening with the Washington Capitals in the game against the recently weak Chicago Blackhawks. With the score at 1:6, the national goalkeeper replaced regular goalkeeper Braden Holtby after two thirds and had to reach behind him once. In the end it was 1:7. On Friday, keeper Thomas Greiss paved the way for the New York Islanders to win with a shutout. The 32-year-old from Füssen stopped all 3 shots of the opponent in the 0-45 win over the Carolina Hurricanes and earned special praise. "He was great," said coach Doug Weight: "He had confidence, came in and got the job done. He made the saves he needed to make." The day before, Jaroslav Halak, the Islanders' number one, saved 3 shots in a 0-50 win against the New York Rangers.
