Draisaitl Cross-checks Horvat in the Legs

Draisaitl was given a two minute minor for tripping on the play. That doesn't seem like much considering how dangerous and unnecessary the move was.
On a lighter note, the Oilers beat the Islanders 4-1 to give new head coach Kris Knoblauch the win in his debut. Draisaitl was named the first star of the game after scoring a goal and getting three assists.
