Leon Draisaitl L. Draisaitl

Islanders' Leon Draisaitl will play on new line tonight

Edmonton Oilers center Leon Draisaitl is projected to play alongside Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Taylor Hall on Thursday.

What It Means:

This is a great opportunity for Draisaitl, who was just called up from the minors. Time will tell if this line arrangement sticks, but it's worth keeping an eye on the 20-year-old Draisaitl given how much upside he possesses.

In 37 games last season as a rookie, Draisaitl recorded two goals and seven helpers. Draisaitl was taken third overall in the 2014 NHL Draft.
