Leon Draisaitl Caps Monster Season by Reaching 50-Goal Plateau
6 years agoEdmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl scored his 50th goal of the season on Saturday as the Oilers beat the Calgary Flames to close out the regular season. Doubling his goal total from last season, Draisaitl also set a career high in shots and power-play goals. As can be expected of a sudden spike in goal scoring, Draisaitl is riding an absurdly high 21.6 percent shooting percentage, which is well above his 16 percent career average and is the highest shooting percentage for any player with at least 30 goals this season. Draisaitl is part of a very productive pair in Edmonton and will be going forward, but do not pencil him in for another 50 goals and 100 points just yet.
