Draisaitl Scores Goal, Assist in Win
Leon Draisaitl scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday’s 8-4 win over the Red Wings. Aside from Saturday’s shutout loss to the Kings, Draisaitl has been productive lately. He has three goals and nine assists over his last seven outings. The 28-year-old is up to 62 points, 136 shots on net, 54 PIM and a plus-12 rating through 49 contests overall. Draisaitl has been more than capable of driving play on his own line this year, giving the Oilers one of the best one-two punches in the league down the middle.
Binnington Handed Loss on Tuesday
Jordan Binnington gave up three goals on 31 shots in Tuesday’s 4-1 loss to the Maple Leafs. The fourth goal was an empty-netter. Binnington put in a solid effort all night but did not get enough offensive production from his teammates. The Maple Leafs outshot the Blues 32-15 so he was the busier netminder on the night. The Blues fell behind early as Binnington allowed two goals in the first period to Bobby McMann and William Nylander. The Blues made it close in the second period on a Alexei Toropchenko tip-in goal but that was as close as they would get. Binnington stopped all five power-play shots he faced and finished with a .903 save percentage on the night.
