Draisaitl dazzles as Oilers force Game 7 with blowout of Ducks

Have yourself a night, Leon.

Edmonton Oilers pivot Leon Draisaitl had a game to remember Sunday, as the 21-year-old scored a hat trick while also chipping in two assists in the Oilers' 7-1 dismantling of the Anaheim Ducks.

The five-point night bumps Draisaitl's playoff total up to an impressive 16 points (six goals, 10 assists), good for second-best in the NHL, trailing only Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins who has 17.

The former third overall pick from the 2014 entry draft is coming off an excellent regular season in which he posted career highs in goals (29) and assists (48), finishing the year with 77 points - good enough for eighth in league scoring.

Draisaitl has carried over his torrid scoring pace into the postseason, especially in the second round where he's entered full beast mode, tallying 13 points in six games versus the Ducks.

The young center clearly enjoys feasting on fowl, as he continues to punish Anaheim to the tune of 24 points over his last 16 games against the club (regular season and playoffs).

Simply put, Draisaitl dominated Game 6.

But, it will all be for naught if the Oilers can't pull off a Game 7 victory in southern California on Wednesday.
