Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid commended Leon Draisaitl for his outstanding performance this season, particularly after the German's pivotal role in McDavid's goal during the 1-0 win over ...

NHL insider Greg Wyshynski recently discussed how he is not sure that Connor McDavid will re-sign with the Edmonton Oilers next summer. The Edmonton Oilers secured half of their superstar duo last year when they signed Leon Draisaitl to an eight-year contract extension that kicks in next season.

His contribution was being ready to take a Draisaitl pass, and blast a solid attempt on net but have it stopped by Kings goaltender Darcy Kuemper.
