Leon Draisaitl continues to fill in admirably in the wake of Connor McDavid's injury.
Draisaitl redirected a tremendous pass from Taylor Hall to open the scoring Friday night against the New Jersey Devils:
Draisaitl added assists on goals by Hall and Oscar Klefbom to record his sixth multi-point game and third three-point effort in 10 contests. He now has seven goals and 10 assists since being recalled.
