The Edmonton Oilers faced former teammate Stuart Skinner on Tuesday night in a highly anticipated matchup. Skinner, who was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins last week, was part of a significant trade for both teams. Alongside Skinner, Tristan Jarry also faced his former team, creating a major storyline leading into the contest.
However, it was Oilers star Leon Draisaitl who ultimately stole the show. In the first period, Draisaitl recorded an assist on Connor McDavid’s goal. This assist marked a milestone for Draisaitl, as it was his 1,000th career point. With this achievement, he became the first German player in NHL history to reach the 1,000-point mark.
Following the milestone, the Oilers celebrated with Draisaitl, mobbing him on the ice in a heartfelt moment.
This is a developing story—stay tuned for more updates.
