NHL: Draisaitl loses duel with Kühnhackls Penguins

Despite a goal from Germany’s Leon Draisaitl, the Edmonton Oilers have lost the duel with Pittsburgh Penguins in the NHL. The 2-3 defeat in the eleventh game of the season was already the eighth defeat for the 22-year-old Draisaitl, who had scored the 2-1 lead in his second goal of the season.

“We must score more goals in excess. Today we succeeded in doing so once, but there should have been a lot more,”Draisaitl said about the general problem of oilers.

So while Edmonton is still not getting into gear and the second worst team in the West, the Penguins and national striker Tom Kühnhackl celebrated another victory after two defeats. The Stanley Cup winner of the last two years occupies third place in the east after the eighth victory of the season.

Without defender Korbinian Holzer, the Anaheim Ducks lost the Toronto Maple Leafs 1-3 in the night to Thursday.

Chicago Blackhawks – Philadelphia Flyers 3:0 BOXSCORE

Edmonton Oilers – Pittsburgh Pengiuns 2:3 BOXSCORE

Anaheim Ducks – Toronto Maple Leafs 1:3 BOXSCORE

Vancouver Canucks – New Jersey Devils 0:2 BOXSCORE

San Jose Sharks – Nashville Predators 4:1 BOXSCORE
