The Last Five First Goal Scorers Of The Season For The Oilers
By Jim Lynch
2019-20 Season: Opener Against The Vancouver Canucks
The Edmonton Oilers began the 2019-20 season with a game against the Vancouver Canucks. Vancouver would not win the game as Edmonton won the game three to two in regulation.
Edmonton’s first goal of the season belonged to Leon Draisaitl in 2019, and this is fitting as Draisaitl would go on to have 43 goals and 67 assists for 110 points this season. McDavid missed some time with injuries, and Draisaitl stepped up this season.
Other goals on the night belonged to Zack Kassian and Connor McDavid, both primary assists on those goals belonged to Draisaitl. The 2019-20 season was one that featured a great regular season followed up with a disappointing play-in series against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Hopefully, this new season will see Draisaitl and McDavid be as successful as they have been in the past.
