So far this season, the German has amassed 35 goals and 62 assists for 97 points in just 62 games.

Simply put, Draisaitl is a scoring and creating machine. Unfortunately for the Oilers, Draisaitl was just shut down for the season with a “lower-body injury. ” That description might sound like it came from the walls of Säbener Straße, but it is standard practice in the NHL.

Anyway, Draisaitl has some time on his hands now and decided to drop by the Bayern Munich vs. Union Berlin match, which the Bavarians won 4-0.
