Leon Draisaitl has 12 goals in 11 games.

Six of his 12 goals have come on the power play. He has 23 points through 11 games and has done it on 43 shots, a 27.9 percent clip.
The run is getting louder with each game. Draisaitl has scored in six straight and has gone multi-goal in each of the last three, picking up six goals over that stretch. Here is the streak, game by game:
