Leon Draisaitl is convinced the Edmonton Oilers can battle for their division s top rung again and last longer in the playoffs.
The NHL s top scorer and MVP in 2019-20 points to Edmonton s 37-25-9 record â good for second in the Pacific Division, three points behind Vegas â in a regular season shortened by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Draisaitl prefers that version of the Oilers to the one exiting the post-season early in its own arena in August.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) The Nashville Predators insist they understand it’s time to stop talking about producing on the ice and just get it done.
Since reaching the 2017 Stanley Cup Final, the Predators have talked a lot about how good they were only to have diminishing playoff returns.
Now they are coming off their earliest end to a season since missing the 2014 playoffs at the end of coach Barry Trotz’s tenure. General manager David Poile ran out of patience in January, firing Peter Laviolette and hiring John Hynes as Nashville’s third head coach.
