Leon Draisaitl has been the Edmonton Oilers ' largest star this year. When the Edmonton Oilers face the Los Angeles Kings in the playoffs, there is a very good possibility that Leon Draisaitl will be able to make history. With his point streak of 16 games against the Kings, he is already well set up. One extra game would place him among two of hockey legends, Mark Messier and Wayne Gretzky , to share an amazing record.
Leon Draisaitl stands one game away from joining NHL legendsLeo Draisaitl has proven his skill in the playoffs over and over again, but most notably against the Kings. His 16-game point streak against them has matched Wayne Gretzky for the third-longest point streak in NHL history against a single team. Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier are at the top with both of them scoring in 19 straight games against their teams, Wayne Gretzky against the Calgary Flames, and Mark Messier against the Kings.
This is the pinnacle of Leo Draisaitl's huge ability to play under pressure. The Edmonton Oilers are in for some trouble, and 0-2 behind in the series, the stage is his. If he keeps going the way he is, then he will join two of the all-time great players in NHL history. But while personal record is terrific, the team would need more than the brilliance of Leo Draisaitl in order to survive the series.
Edmonton Oilers need to work together to advanceThe Oilers stand at a junction in their playoff journey. It is no longer about individual players like Leo Draisaitl and Connor McDavid; the whole team must deliver. The Oilers have a daunting task ahead, and if they are to triumph, they must work together.
Leo Draisaitl has been the key, but he can't do it on his own. Everyone else is going to have to pick it up too, especially as the physicality of the series comes on with guys like Evander Kane. Game 3 is going to be a test to see if the Oilers can pull together and fight for the win.
