In Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, Leon Draisaitl delivered a standout performance for the Edmonton Oilers, scoring a pair of goals and netting the overtime winner for a 4-3 victory over the Florida Panthers. Starting with a quick goal just 66 seconds into the match, Draisaitl helped rally the Oilers back to tie the game in the third and secure the win in overtime. He acknowledged his teammates' contributions, emphasizing the importance of teamwork. Draisaitl also tied an NHL record for playoff overtime goals and solidified his place among great players in the history of the tournament.
"We don't win the game tonight without him, so that tells you that story," Oilers defenseman Mattias Ekholm said of Draisaitl's performance.
"I'm standing there capitalizing on this, but it's what happens over there," he told TNT's Derren Peng. "We get excited for each other and we never quit."
