Leon Draisaitl has outshone Connor McDavid in the NHL scoring charts this season .

The 29-year-old German is currently second overall in the league with 85 points ( 24 goals, 61 assists) in 60 games.

McDavid would still be the top offensive player on 29 other NHL clubs this season , but not his own.

The Edmonton Oilers have lost eight of their previous 12 games to drop to 12th in the standings.

“Since that point, we’ve been building, getting better play. “I think we could have had a couple more wins during that time, but it is what it is. Sometimes you don’t win games that you should and vice-versa, but there’s a lot to be optimistic about. But we know we still need to get better. We can’t be content on where we are right now.” E-mail: [email protected] On Twitter : @GerryModdejonge .
