According to Daily Hive, After 40 minutes of rather uninspired hockey against the Vancouver Canucks on Monday night, the Oilers decided to turn up the heat with a beautiful goal from Corey Perry and a powerplay marker from defencemen Ben Gleason.
The two teams then played a frantic OT period that saw grade-A chances at either end of the ice. It was a shootout goal from Draisaitl, however, that ended up being the talk of the game as he opted to take a blistering slapshot from the slot.
Leon Draisaitl AKA "The Deutsch Dangler" has always been recognized for his sneaky offensive abilities. Being the preseason, Leon definitely wanted to try something a little different when head coach Knoblauch called his number for the shootout.
Take a look at some of the fan reactions from around the league:
Who said the preseason can't be fun? The Oilers phenom definitely put on a thrilling display for the fans at Rogers place - if you were lucky enough to be there, i'm jealous.
