The Carolina Hurricanes will begin a five-game road trip with a run through western Canada this week that starts on Tuesday night against the Edmonton Oilers. The obvious focus whenever the Oilers appear on the schedule is the presence of Connor McDavid. But so far this season, his long-time sidekick Leon Draisaitl has elevated his production on par with McDavid. Currently edging McDavid in overall points (53 for Draisaitl, 52 for McDavid), Draisaitl has pumped out a prodigious 15 even strength goals and he has provided the perfect co-star to McDavid, who is seen by many as the best player in the NHL.
