Players To Watch:
Edmonton Oilers
Leon Draisaitl will try to extend his point streak to 16 games. The last time the Cologne, Germany native was held without a point was January 25 in a 3-2 Oilers victory over the Buffalo Sabres. Draisaitl leads the NHL with 46 goals and is second in the scoring race to Nathan MacKinnon with 97 points.
New Jersey Devils
Jesper Bratt broke out of a mini-slump with a three-point (1g, 2a) night in the Devils’ 5-3 victory over Columbus on Tuesday. Bratt leads New Jersey in scoring with 73 points (18g, 55a) in 66 games. The 26-year-old winger from Sweden is on pace for a career-high 91 points that would eclipse his current career-high of 83 points he recorded last season.
