One goal, one assist: Leon Draisaitl played a decisive role in the Edmonton Oilers’ victory. The 4:2 win against the Los Angeles Kings is particularly valuable.
In the 4-2 draw against division rivals Los Angeles Kings, the national ice hockey player made it 2-2 and set up Evan Bouchard’s decisive 3-2 at the beginning of the final third. For the Oilers, after three defeats in a row, it was an important success against their direct competitor for a playoff place in the National Hockey League. After the victory, the Canadians, who were previously tied on points, are now two points ahead of the Kings again.
