Edmonton Oilers centre Leon Draisaitl has been named the NHL second star of the week.
Draisaitl shared the league lead with five goals and eight points as the Oilers went 4-0-0 and clinched a spot in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
The league’s second-leading scorer (120 points) also hit the 50-goal plateau for the third time in his career.
The Oilers are back in action Tuesday night when they visit the Los Angeles Kings. The puck drops at 8:30 p.m., coverage starts on 630 CHED at 7 p.m.
Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy was named the first star while Boston Bruins winger David Pastrnak was named the second star of the week.
Vasilevskiy posted a 3-0-0 record with two shutouts and a .990 save percentage after stopping 99 of the 100 shots he faced.
The 2021 Conn Smythe trophy winner is tied for fifth in the league with a .918 save percentage this season.
Pastrnak added to his career-high goal-scoring output with five last week, including a hat trick Saturday against Pittsburgh. His 56 goals on the season only trail Edmonton’s Connor McDavid (62).
