Surprise statement made by Leon Draisaitl after dominant 5-0 win over the Washington Capitals
The Washington Capitals were the first team to experience an Edmonton Oilers shut-out thanks to Kris Knbolauch, Connor McDavid, and company.
As the team blanked an opponent, it was more than just a moral victory. It is a step in the right direction.
Connor Brown of all people got a shout-out from Leon Draisaitl after he scored a power-play goal, and Skinner got a shutout.
Exactly why? While Connor Brown was playing junior league for the Eerie Otters, he composed the play himself.
Makes you wonder, how much input do Brown and McDavid have in Knoblauch's regime? It worked as Connor assisted Leon Draisaitl's power-play goal.
Leon from Connor on the power play
The Oilers seem to be revitalized from this victory and hope they can grab another after this one.
