SCOTTSDALE, AZ - The Oilers are skating at the Ice Den in Scottsdale on Monday, their first practice since an 8-3 victory in Saturday's thrilling Battle of Alberta.
Leon Draisaitl was named the NHL's First Star of the Week on Monday as the German tied for the League lead with eight points (2G, 6A) in three games last week as the Oilers gained five of a possible six points.
"It's nice, but we have a goal as a team. That's the main focus," Draisaitl said of his accolade. "Lately we've been going in that direction and playing well. We need to keep that going."
