Good things come to those who wait.
Oilers star Leon Draisaitl picked up his first power-play point of the season - an assist - against the Canadiens Saturday night.
Draisaitl had 27 points with the man advantage last season - an average of one every 3.037 games. This season, it took him until his 25th game to notch his first.
Despite the struggles with the man advantage, Edmonton's $68-million man sat tied for 22nd in the league in even-strength points with 19 heading into Saturday's game.
