Leon Draisaitl Card Prices Climb as Oilers Chase the Stanley Cup
In this story:
Leon Draisaitl has continued to remind the hockey world that he is one of the game's best, and deserves his shine right along best-in-the-world teammate Connor McDavid, as the duo have helped lead Edmonton back to the Stanley Cup Finals. The duo teamed up for perhaps the most beautiful goal of the playoffs so far in Game 2, sending them viral once again with a spectacular highlight.

With his goal in Edmonton's Game Two Overtime loss to the Florida Panthers, Draisaitl became just the third player in NHL history to have three straight seasons with 10 or more playoff goals, joining Mike Bossy and the GOAT, Wayne Gretzky. With Leon Draisaitl only a few wins from his first-ever Stanley Cup, his card market continues to heat up.
