In Game 1, Adin Hill's performance was critiqued as the Edmonton Oilers made a comeback from a 0-2 deficit to win against the Golden Knights. Hill faced criticism for several goals, particularly a pivotal moment when Draisaitl connected from an advantageous position after a scramble. The team's success has been bolstered by goalie Calvin Pickard, whose recent performance has contributed to a five-game playoff win streak, alongside solid contributions from secondary players, enhancing the overall dynamics of play when key stars like McDavid and Draisaitl rest.
As the Edmonton Oilers came back from 0-2 down to take Game 1 in Las Vegas, 4-2, every goal let in by the Golden Knights netminder seemed to leave him in a slapstick position.
Leon Draisaitl saw Hill's exposed pad in the crease and, almost like he was playing mini golf, banked it in to knot the game at two.
Since the mediocre Calvin Pickard took over for the abominable Stuart Skinner in goal, the Oil Boys are riding a five-game playoff win streak.
The bit playersâwith particular love for the fourth lineâare holding their own, putting up a positive chance differential and a plus-four on goals when McDavid and Draisaitl are both getting breathers.
