With Edmonton Oilers superstar Leon Draisaitl not participating in the 4 Nations Faceoff tournament, he's using the time off for something special which is finalizing wedding plans with fiancée Celeste Desjardins.
Draisaitl and Desjardins announced their engagement last summer and have now revealed that their wedding will take place next summer in Paris.
During their recent trip, the couple toured venues, planned meals and soaked in the sights of the City of Love.
Desjardins shared several photos of their visit on social media and captioning one of Draisaitl as her «Future Hubs.»
Draisaitl's wedding planning comes just months after Oilers captain
Connor McDavid married longtime partner Lauren Kyle and both superstars are not only thriving on the ice but also settling into long-term relationships off it.
Draisaitl who is just fresh off signing a contract extension and continues to put down roots in Edmonton and McDavid seems poised to follow this too.
The Oilers' 4 Nations break has allowed several players to unwind and take a break.
Defenseman
Troy Stecher and forward
Kasperi Kapanen were spotted hitting the golf course, while others are likely enjoying some well-earned time on the beach.
As the Oilers gear up for the season's final stretch, this brief rest should allow them to return refreshed and refocused.
And for Draisaitl, a strong second half could be even sweeter with a wedding on the horizon.
