Leon Draisaitl hasn’t scored at all in the Stanley Cup Final after notching 10 goals in his first 16 playoff games.
— Connor McDavid has dominated the Stanley Cup Final with 11 points in five games, two behind Wayne Gretzky’s NHL record of 13 with Edmonton in 1988.
Leon Draisaitl, the Oilers‘ other superstar, has not dominated in the Final. He has hardly made a whimper offensively.
His two assists in Edmonton’s 8-1 Game 4 win are his only points of the series against the Florida Panthers. Draisaitl has gone seven contests without a goal after scoring 10 in his first 16 playoff games of 2024. Overall, he has 30 points in 23 postseason games this year.
„Obviously not happy with the way I’m playing, haven’t found my game, haven’t found my leg. Just not the standard that I hold myself to, obviously“, Draisaitl said Friday, hours before Game 6.
Draisaitl demurred when asked whether the Panthers‘ defense or his revolving door of linemates contributed to his slump.
„It’s me“, he said.
