The 128 points in 2022-23 are the biggest total. The rate that year was 1.60, and until this season that was the highest he had managed. Six of his seasons have passed 100 points.
What changed, and what did not
The ice time has not moved. He is playing much what he has played for six years, 21:33 a night, so this is not a case of a coach handing him more of the game.
The assists are where the jump is. 16 in 16 is a pace near 82, which would beat the 76 he managed in 2022-23. He is finishing more of his own chances as well, but the playmaking is doing more of the work than the headline goal total suggests.
Two numbers say it eases off
The first is the shooting percentage. 22.8 per cent against a career mark of 18.7 per cent. He has finished a season above 21 per cent three times, so this is not absurd for him. It is still the top of his range rather than the middle.
The second is the power play. 7 of his 13 goals have come on it. The Oilers have the third-best power play in the league at 33.9 per cent, and a unit running that hot tends to come back toward the pack. Hold his shot rate, apply his career finishing, and the 67-goal pace becomes roughly 55.
Where he sits with McDavid
Connor McDavid has 40 points in the same 16 games, so the two of them have 69 between them. That is why Edmonton leads the league in goals. It is also why neither is likely to be asked to carry the scoring alone at any point this season.
Our Connor McDavid stats page has the same treatment of his season.
So how many points will Leon Draisaitl score?
The straight-line answer is 149. Nobody has scored that many since the 1990s, and he has played all 82 games twice in twelve years, so treat it as what the rate says rather than as a forecast.
Somewhere between 115 and 125 looks like the honest middle for these Leon Draisaitl stats. That would be a career high, and it would come in the season he turned 32. He is also 3 goals from 450 for his career, and 18 points from 1,100.

29 in 16 games for Edmonton, 13 goals and 16 assists. That is 1.81 a game, a pace near 149 across a full season, and second in the NHL scoring race.
By rate, yes so far. 1.81 points a game beats the 1.60 he managed in 2022-23, when he scored a career-high 128 points. By total it is far too early to say.
447 in 871 games, with 635 assists for 1,082 points. He is three goals away from 450.
31. He was born on 27 October 1995 in Cologne, Germany, and Edmonton took him third overall in the 2014 draft.
McDavid, on 40 to Draisaitl’s 29 from the same 16 games. They are first and second in the NHL scoring race.
