On Tap: Robertson, Draisaitl look to stay hot when Stars, Oilers meet

There is one game on the NHL schedule for Tuesday, which is televised nationally in Canada. Here are three things to watch today, along with the complete game schedule.

Robertson, Draisaitl on hot streaks

Two of the top point-scorers in the NHL go head to head when Jason Robertson and the Dallas Stars (13-5-4) face Leon Draisaitl and the Edmonton Oilers (10-9-5) at Rogers Place (9 p.m. ET; TVAS, SN, Victory+). Roberston and Draisaitl are tied for 10th in the NHL with 28 points each. Robertson (13 goals, 15 assists) has 10 goals during a six-game goal streak. He’s the fifth player in Stars/Minnesota North Stars history to have multiple goal streaks of at least six games, joining Mike Modano (four), Jamie Benn (two), Danny Grant (two) and Bill Goldsworthy (two). Draisaitl has 11 points (four goals, seven assists) during a six-game point streak and has 14 goals and 14 assists this season.

Home sweet home

After surviving a 3-3-1 road trip, the Oilers return to a place that has been friendlier for them this season. Edmonton is 5-1-2 at Rogers Place and is averaging 3.75 goals per game, which is fourth-best in the NHL and a whole goal more than their road average (2.75 goals per game, tied for 24th). The Oilers will play six of their next seven games at home, which might give them a chance to move up in the Pacific Division standings where they are currently in sixth place.

McDavid/Draisaitl one-two punch

Draisaitl and Connor McDavid continue to pace the Oilers, with each in the top 10 in scoring in the NHL this season. McDavid is third with 33 points (10 goals, 23 assists) in 24 games and Draisaitl is tied for 10th. Draisaitl, with 14 goals, is tied for third in the NHL behind only Nathan MacKinnon (Colorado Avalanche) and Morgan Geekie (Boston Bruins), who each have 17. The last time McDavid and Draisaitl each did not finish in the top 10 in points was in 2017-18, when McDavid led the NHL with 108 and Draisaitl finished tied for 34th with 70.
