The false start of ice hockey top star Leon Draisaitl and the Edmonton Oilers in the new season of the North American professional league NHL is perfect.
The false start of Ice hockey top star Leon Draisaitl and the Edmonton Oilers in the new season of the North American professional league NHL is perfect.
Three days after the clear 8-1 defeat at the Vancouver Canucks at the start of the season, Edmonton also lost the second game against their Canadian rivals 3-4 in front of their home crowd. Draisaitl himself once again showed a strong performance and scored his second goal of the season, and he also made it 2-2 thanks to his congenial strike partner Connor McDavid. The Oilers continue their away game at the Nashville Predators on Tuesday (local time).
Meanwhile, Tim Stützle from the Ottawa Senators and Moritz Seider from the Detroit Red Wings celebrated their first win of the season with their teams. Stützle contributed an assist in the Canadian capital team’s 5-2 win against the Philadelphia Flyers, while defender Seider even got on the scoresheet twice in the Red Wings’ 6-4 home win against Tampa Bay Lightning and scored his first goal of the season shortly before the end of the game .
It was a less than successful match day for the other German players. John-Jason Peterka failed to score in his Buffalo Sabers’ 3-2 defeat at the New York Islanders, as did Lukas Reichel from the Chicago Blackhawks in their 3-2 defeat at the Montreal Canadiens. Goalkeeper Philipp Grubauer from the Seattle Kraken was not used in the 1:2 defeat after a penalty shootout at the St. Louis Blues.
