EDMONTON, Alberta – Leon Draisaitl scored twice as the Edmonton Oilers rallied to beat the Nashville Predators 3-2 on Saturday night.

“At this time of year, it’s about sticking with it; it doesn’t have to be pretty,” Draisaitl said. “Two points is two points. It’s a gutty win for us, and that’s huge for our group.”

Alex Chiasson also scored for the Oilers, who had lost back-to-back games.

Oilers coach Dave Tippett said Draisaitl stepped up to counter a couple of off nights in the previous games.

“He is such a dominant player when he plays a big, strong game,” he said. “That’s where he was tonight. He just holds the puck and can dominate the game at times.
