Düsseldorf While most Europeans are sleeping, the North American professional leagues are busy. What happened during the night in American football, basketball and ice hockey. Today among other things: A strong Dennis Schröder and an accurate Leon Draisaitl.
Ice Hockey: Draisaitl’s next double is not enough for the Oilers to win
The next double of the exceptional German ice hockey player Leon Draisaitl could not prevent the Edmonton Oilers’ third loss of the season in the NHL. The Canadians lost 2: 3 to the Buffalo Sabers. Draisaitl (26) extended his lead in the points classification with goals 13 and 14 of the season. For the Cologne native, it was already the sixth double of the season.
–
The Russian superstar Alexander Owetschkin (36) from the Washington Capitals passed Brett Hull with his 742nd NHL goal and is now the only fourth in the list of the best. Washington won 4-3 at the Columbus Blue Jackets.
–
“That means a lot to me,” said Ovechkin: “When you start playing ice hockey, you never believe that you will be mentioned in the same breath with such names.” For the old star it was already the twelfth goal of the season, making him currently number two behind Draisaitl.

Basketball: Schröder towers in the victory of the Celtics
National basketball player Dennis Schröder led the Boston Celtics in the NBA to victory over defending champion Milwaukee Bucks with an outstanding performance. The playmaker came in at 122: 113 after extra time to 38 points, in overtime he shone with 8 of the 14 Celtics points – and received an extra praise from his coach Ime Udoka not only because of his season best performance.
–
“He overheated late and carried us,” said Udoka: “He had a great evening today and we needed it.” At the Bucks, superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo was injured.

The audience in the TD Garden celebrated Schröder in the final phase with MVP calls. “It’s just great, but not important to me. I want to win – and we did that,” said Schröder, who was booed by the fans in the first home game of the season with his team-mates.
–
In addition to Schröder, three exceptional players in the NBA shone on Saturday night: Luka Doncic managed a triple double with 32 points at 123: 109 in his Dallas Mavericks at the San Antonio Spurs. Stephen Curry recorded 40 points in a 119-93 victory over the Chicago Bulls, the eleventh win of the season for his Golden State Warriors. James Harden led the Brooklyn Nets with 39 points to 120: 112 with the New Orleans Pelicans.

American Football: Gruden is suing NFL for resigning as coach of the Las Vegas Raiders
One month after his resignation as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, Jon Gruden is suing the American football professional league NFL and its commissioner Roger Goodell for damages. This emerges from a statement that his lawyer Adam Hosmer-Henner issued on Friday (local time). Accordingly, Gruden’s private correspondence would have been “selectively leaked” in order to damage his reputation and force him out of his job.
–
The 58-year-old Gruden laments “character assassination in the Soviet style” and a “malicious and orchestrated campaign” that has destroyed his career. He also lost a sponsorship deal and an appearance on an NFL video game.
–
The NFL dismissed the allegations as “completely unfounded” and said the league would “vigorously defend itself against these allegations,” said spokesman Brian McCarthy.
–
At the beginning of October, several media reported that the then television expert Gruden had repeatedly expressed himself racist, sexist and anti-gay in e-mails between 2011 and 2018. The news came from a set of 650,000 emails collected by the league during a work culture survey on the Washington Football team.
–
Gruden, who led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the Super Bowl victory in 2003, resigned because of the pressure in Las Vegas despite a lucrative ten-year contract.
