BREAKING: NHL Hands Leon Draisaitl Maximum Punishment

Last night, as the Oilers were playing against the New York Islanders, Draisaitl was called for a two-minute tripping minor on Bo Horvat. The "trip" was an intentional cross-check to the back of the legs.

Today, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced a fine for Draisaitl.

Draisaitl and his Oilers may have had the last laugh, though as they won the game 4-1 to give Kris Knoblauch a victory in his first NHL game as head coach.
