Edmonton got on the board early as Draisaitl found the net just a minute into the game. The Panthers eventually responded in the first with a goal from Sam Bennett, and a failed Oilers challenge of the goal set up a power play for Florida that resulted in a goal from Brad Marchand just moments later.

Leon Draisaitl continues to be captain clutch for the Oilers with another playoff OT winner in Game 1 against the Panthers.

McDavid won the Conn Smythe last season, even though the Oilers lost to the Florida Panthers in seven games in the Cup Final. He leads the playoffs with 28 points (six goals, 22 assists) in 17 games this season, but Draisaitl is right behind with 27 points (nine goals, 18 assists) in 17 games.
