Leon Draisaitl hits 70 points — Oilers' engine running at full throttle

NHL

Leon Draisaitl crossed the 70-point threshold and hasn't looked back, now sitting at 97 points through the Oilers' campaign. That's elite production territory, the kind of output that separates franchise cornerstones from mere contributors. Draisaitl's 70-point mark represented another checkpoint in what's become a dominant season, confirming his status as one of the league's most dangerous offensive weapons. The German center has maintained that torrid pace well beyond the milestone, piling on another 27 points since. For a player who's made consistency his calling card, this season reinforces why Edmonton built around him. Seventy points is typically a season-long achievement for most NHL forwards — Draisaitl used it as a springboard. With 97 points banked, he's tracking toward another Art Ross Trophy conversation while anchoring an Oilers attack that remains one of hockey's most lethal. The milestone was just business as usual for number 29.
