NHL: Edmonton loses despite Draisaitl goal – success for Rieder

Despite a goal from young star Leon Draisaitl (22), the Edmonton Oilers have won their next defeat and are losing sight of the play-offs in the NHL. The Canadians lost 5:7 to the Florida Panthers on Monday (local time) with 5:7, two days before the five-time Stanley Cup winner had already lost at the San Jose Sharks.
