EDMONTON, AB - Admittedly for Leon Draisaitl, his ability to drive, chip and putt doesn't stack up to his on-ice prowess.
"Very, very inconsistent," Draisaitl said, speaking to his golf game from the Edmonton Oilers Charity Golf Tournament on Monday.
"I can hit a ball by now, but don't necessarily know where it's going half the time."
Luckily for the German, his innate sense for connecting rubber to mesh on the ice resulted in his first 50-goal and 100-point year in the NHL at the tender age of 23 to finish fourth in League scoring (105 points) and one goal off Alexander Ovechkin in the race for the Rocket Richard Trophy.
"It's obviously very exciting. It's something that I'm proud of," he said. "I think scoring goals in the NHL is one of the hardest things to do, and it makes me really appreciate what guys like Ovechkin do. They do that every single year over and over again, and that's pretty impressive. Hopefully, I can get close to that again and get better as a hockey player all around."
