Edmonton Oilers superstar Leon Draisaitl had one of the best but under-the-radar playoff series in NHL history.
In the Oilers' 4-1 series win over their provincial rival Calgary Flames, Draisaitl collected an incredible 2 goals and 15 assists (IN FIVE GAMES). He ties Boston Bruins Rick Middleton for the NHL record of points in five games of a playoff series, who had 5 goals and 12 assists in the 1983 Division Final against the Buffalo Sabres.
Draisaitl had maybe the most underrated playoff series, too, as he was overshadowed by the dominance of his teammate Connor McDavid, even though he had five more points than his captain.
