Leon Draisaitl continues to prove he's more than a sidekick in Edmonton.

After breaking out with a 51-point effort last season, Draisaitl has taken his play to a new level in 2016-17, establishing himself as one of the game's brightest young stars.

He confirmed that step forward once again Tuesday, hitting 20 goals for the first time in his career with a rocket of a one-timer.

By reaching the 20-goal plateau, Draisaitl earned a $212,500 performance bonus, according to Cap Friendly.
