Draisaitl Distributes Three Helpers in Win
Leon Draisaitl notched three assists, three shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Sunday’s 6-1 win over the Penguins. Draisaitl now has nine games with three or more points this season. He’s put up 21 points over his last 14 outings. The superstar has 30 goals, 48 assists, 29 power-play points, 159 shots on net and a plus-18 rating over 49 contests overall. Draisaitl is good in any top-six spot, but he’s looked especially sharp alongside Connor McDavid in recent games.
Pastrnak’s Three-Point Night aids in Win
David Pastrnak finished Monday’s 4-1 win over Toronto with three assists, a plus-2 rating, and seven shots on goal. There aren’t many forwards who can compete with Pastrnak’s high point totals and consistency. He’s now up to 38 goals and 90 points through 63 games. Through the entire season, Pastrnak has only gone back-to-back games without a point three times, and none of those droughts have reached three contests. If he has a down night, as he did Saturday, look for him to bounce back, like he did Monday.

They’ve also won 13 out of 16 on the road, are 10-1 in their last 11 non-conference games and are 21-6 in their last 27 games when listed as a road favorite. On the other side, the Bruins are just 1-6 in their last seven games when playing Edmonton at home and are 2-5 in their last seven games when facing an opponent from the Pacific Division.
