Draisaitl commended his teammate, saying, “That was huge for us… There is only one player on the planet who can score the goal. And we are overjoyed to play in our ranks.”

Draisaitl then played a key role in the 5-3 play, sealing the deal. A final goal into the Stars’ empty net confirmed the Oilers’ victory.
