Leon Draisaitl absolutely rocks Andre Burakovsky with a HUGE reverse hit
Leon Draisiatl isn't necessarily known as a physical player. He only has 45 hits on the season, but none bigger than the one he threw last night against the Colorado Avalanche.
In the 1st period of last night's game, on a play in the Colorado zone. Draisiatl tracked the puck to the side wall, while being tailed by Andre Burakovsky. Leon was able to position himself perfectly and delivered a thunderous reverse check to an unsuspecting Burakovsky.
Draisiatl finished the game with 2 hits as the Colorado Avalanche went on to defeat the Oilers 2-1 in a shootout. The win brings the Avalanche that much closer to securing the top seed in the Western Conference.
