Draisaitl makes club history

Leon Draisaitl shoots the Edmonton Oilers to victory with the last action. In addition to his third goal of the season, the German also provides an assist.

Ice hockey star Leon Draisaitl has led his Edmonton Oilers to victory in the North American professional league NHL with a “buzzer beater” in literally the last second.

Germany’s Sportsman of the Year scored 0.7 seconds before the final siren in a 4-3 win over the Winnipeg Jets. It was the latest game-winning goal in regulation time in Edmonton’s club history.
