Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Pots pair of goals
Rotowire
Draisaitl scored twice on three shots, including one power-play goal, in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks.
This was Draisaitl's second multi-point effort in a row. He's earned four goals and three assists during a five-game point streak. The 29-year-old superstar has yet to have a real explosion of offense, which is a product of the Oilers being a mediocre 4-4-2 on the year. Draisaitl is at seven goals, four helpers, 28 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 10 appearances, and six of his 11 points have come on the power play.

Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Records two assists in loss
Rotowire
Draisaitl had two assists, including one on the power play, and added five shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Kraken.
Draisaitl also won 19 of 26 faceoffs while serving as the center on his own line. The 29-year-old had spent much of the early weeks of 2025-26 alongside Connor McDavid, but head coach Kris Knoblauch split them up to spread the wealth at 5-on-5 amid the Oilers' struggles in that situation. While it didn't work for the team, Draisaitl showed Saturday that he's more than capable of working on his own. He's up to five goals, four assists, five power-play points, 25 shots on net, four hits and an even plus-minus rating across nine appearances this season.

Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Finds twine in loss
Rotowire
Draisaitl scored a goal in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.
Draisaitl found the back of the net at 7:33 of the third period. While it was a disappointing night offensively for Edmonton with just 18 shots on net, his goal is a sign that he should continue to produce even when the team struggles. Draisaitl is up to four goals, five points and 14 shots on net in six appearances this season. His goal Sunday was just his second point at even strength this year, which is a step in the right direction. Draisaitl will look to help the Edmonton offense heat up after a sluggish 2-3-1 start to the regular season. If history serves us correctly, expect to see a bump in points in the near future.

Rotowire
Draisaitl scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders.

The star winger has just one even-strength point -- a goal -- through four games this year, but he's also contributed two goals and an assist with the man advantage over that span. Draisaitl should remain one of the Oilers' go-to scoring options when Edmonton takes on the Devils on Saturday.

Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Deposits empty-netter
Rotowire
Draisaitl scored a shorthanded empty-net goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.
Draisaitl cut off the Canucks' comeback hopes with his third-period tally. The 29-year-old has opened 2025-26 with two goals, one assist, eight shots and a plus-1 rating over two contests. As expected, he's played on the wing for the first two games -- in formats where he didn't already have left-wing eligibility, it shouldn't take him long to gain it. Fantasy managers shouldn't have trouble finding space in their lineups for Draisaitl anyway, as he's one of a handful of players with an expectation for 100 points every year.
