Leon Draisaitl has been the Edmonton Oilers best player all season long, which has put his name in the Hart Trophy conversation for MVP - but Coach Knoblauch thinks he deserves even more.

Draisaitl also leads all MVP candidates in on-ice goals share (69.4%), as well as expected goals share (66%). With Draisaitl on the ice, the Oilers are generating 5.09 goals per 60 minutes while allowing only 2.62. He has the best xG differential in the league this season, at 58.7.

In golf, they don’t ask how, just how many. It’s kind of the same for slumping teams that finally end a losing streak. They don’t ask, ‘Who did you beat?’ So, it matters not that the Edmonton Oilers edged an opponent that had just four wins in its previous 11 games.
