Two goal assists from Leon Draisaitl at the start, a 4-1 lead in the second period: The Edmonton Oilers got off to a strong start in Vancouver. But then Draisaitl disappears – and his team loses.
The Edmonton Oilers around national ice hockey player Leon Draisaitl lost the start of the NHL playoff series against the Vancouver Canucks. The Cologne player prepared the first two goals in the 4:5 win on Wednesday evening. In the second third, Draisaitl was missing for several minutes and was not on the bench. There was initially no information about the reasons.
After his return, Draisaitl seemed inhibited and was unable to prevent the Canucks’ comeback, who were temporarily down 4-1. The hosts scored the goals to make it 3:4, 4:4 and 5:4 in the final third within 4:48 minutes.
Draisaitl’s teammate Zach Hyman scored twice and has already scored nine goals in the current playoffs. To advance to the Western Conference final series, a team needs four wins.
In the Eastern Conference, the Florida Panthers returned with a clear win against the Boston Bruins. The team won 6:1, two days after the 1:5 at the start of the series.
