Watch: Draisaitl’s power-play one-timer caps hat trick

Leon Draisaitl and the Edmonton Oilers are laying it on the Anaheim Ducks in Game 6.

He opened the scoring Sunday, tallied another one less five minutes later, and capped off his hat trick by banging home a one-timer on the man advantage late in the second period to restore the Oilers' six-goal lead.

Draisaitl notched his first playoff hat trick in his 12th career postseason game, and became the first Edmonton player to score three goals in a contest since Doug Weight and Bill Guerin did so in back-to-back playoff contests in 2000.

He's also the second-youngest Oiler ever to post a postseason hat trick, behind some guy named Wayne Gretzky, according to Sportsnet.
