Edmonton Oilers star Leon Draisaitl has given fans a reason to celebrate off the ice as well.

The beloved NHL forward took to social media this week to share the heartwarming news that his girlfriend, Canadian actress and model Celeste Desjardins, is four months pregnant with their first child.

Draisaitl, known for his powerhouse performances and humble demeanor, looked overjoyed as he posted a photo of himself and Celeste holding up a sonogram image of their baby. The moment has quickly gone viral among Oilers fans and hockey supporters worldwide, who are thrilled to see a softer, more personal side of one of the game’s biggest stars.

In the caption, Draisaitl thanked fans for their support and well-wishes, writing: “This is the best assist I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to meet you, little one.” Celeste also shared her own excitement, posting a sweet message about how overjoyed and grateful she feels to embark on this new chapter with Leon by her side.

The couple, who have kept much of their relationship private, are now opening up about the incredible journey ahead. Friends close to the pair say they’ve already started preparing a nursery in their Edmonton home and have been surrounded by love and support from family, teammates, and fans.

What made the announcement even more special was the reveal of the baby’s gender through the sonogram photo — though the couple has yet to officially confirm whether they’re expecting a boy or a girl, eagle-eyed fans think they spotted a hint in the ultrasound image. Social media has been buzzing with guesses and warm wishes, turning Draisaitl’s big news into a heartwarming moment for the entire Oilers community.

This joyous milestone comes at an exciting time for Draisaitl both personally and professionally. He remains one of the NHL’s top scorers and continues to lead the Oilers alongside Connor McDavid in their ongoing quest for the Stanley Cup. But this new adventure promises to be his greatest goal yet.

As one fan put it perfectly in the comments: “You score on the ice, Leon — now you’ve scored the best goal of all!”

Congratulations to Leon and Celeste on this beautiful news — here’s to a future filled with happiness, love, and plenty of tiny skates.
