Leon Draisaitl looks very much at home in the NHL.

The Edmonton Oilers' center, centering the top line with Ryan-Nugent Hopkins out with the flu, showed off his incredible release Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings, rifling a Taylor Hall pass upstairs from a bad angle.

The goal is the 20-year-old's fifth in eight games.
