Leon Draisaitl trolls Marc-Andre Fleury; Sparks scrum
Leon Draisaitl pulled off quite the troll on veteran goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, sparking a scrum between the Oilers and Wild Friday night.
Fleury's blocker comes off as he throws Zach Hyman's stick away for poking at a covered puck. As he goes to pick it up, Draisaitl skates by and pushes his blocker away from Fleury with his stick. As you would expect, he gets a reaction from the netminder and his team.
Flower proceeds to rip off Draisaitl's helmet and throws it away, as well. Really just a classic show of gamesmanship between two of the best in the NHL.
Draisaitl and the Oilers got the last laugh as they came away with a 5-2 win over the wild, as the German registered one goal and one assist. Edmonton and Minnesota face off once again on Monday for the third time in 12 days.
It appears as though Draisaitl is welcoming a new agitator role lately after this incident with Jacob Trouba of the New York Rangers a couple of weeks ago.
