New York (AP) – The German NHL professional Leon Draisaitl was unable to prevent his Edmonton Oilers’ third defeat in a row despite his 25th goal of the season.
In the 2: 3 (0: 1, 2: 0, 0: 1) after extra time at the New York Islanders, the 26-year-old Cologne-born equalizer in the second third after the Islanders took the lead through Anders Lee was. This means that Draisaitl remains the most successful goalscorer of the NHL season.
Darnell Nurse increased to 2-1 for the Canadians shortly before the end of the second period, but in the final third New York struck back with Anthony Beauvillier’s goal, so it went into overtime. There Noah Dobson scored the decisive goal for the Islanders.
Since returning to the ice after the NHL put the game on hold over the Christmas holidays due to many corona cases, the Oilers had previously also played with the St. Louis Blues (2-4) and the New Jersey Devils (5-6 a.d.) ) lost.
