Leon Draisaitl’s Shocking Overtime Heroics Ignite Oilers’ Stanley Cup Final Upset Over Panthers
But the Oilers never wavered, and they chipped away at the lead and eventually tied the game when McDavid found Mattias Ekholm with a gorgeous dish into the high slot.
On the game-winner, that dynamic duo teamed up on the power play in overtime. The Panthers penalty killers got a little too high in the zone, and that created a 2-on-1 down low for McDavid and Draisaitl. McDavid slipped a pass across to Draisaitl, who blasted a one-timer past Bobrovsky to win the game.
Prior to tonight, the Panthers were 31-0 when leading at the end of the first or second period in playoff games under Paul Maurice. All it took was two of the best players in the world to end that streak.
