    Leon Draisaitl knows there’s a spotlight fixed firmly on his teammate Connor McDavid as the Edmonton Oilers captain approaches yet another milestone.

    And the German sniper believes that’s exactly the way it should be.

    The entire Oilers locker room is pushing to get McDavid to the 100-point mark in the pandemic-condensed NHL season, Draisaitl said.

    “He does so much for our team. He does so much for us on a nightly basis that the least we can do is help him out as much as we can.” he said. “It might not be that important to him, but it sure is important to us for him to get to that point.”

    McDavid inched closer to the goal Tuesday as the Oilers topped the Vancouver Canucks 4-1. Draisaitl scored twice in the victory, with a pair of assists from McDavid, who leads the NHL in scoring with 93 points (31 goals, 62 assists) with five regular season game to go.
