The Edmonton Oilers equalize the semifinal series at 2:2 with a home win over the Dallas Stars. The German star player scores for the tenth time in the playoffs.
The Edmonton Oilers, led by German ice hockey star Leon Draisaitl, have equalized the semifinal series in the NHL at 2:2 after their first home victory over the Dallas Stars. After a 3:5 home defeat, the Oilers defeated the Stars 5:2 (2:2, 2:0, 1:0).
The best-of-seven series now moves back to Dallas, where the fifth game will take place on Friday. The first team to win four times will advance to the final series of the North American Ice Hockey League.
After Draisaitl had not been involved in a goal in the last two games, the Cologne native scored again and scored the 4-2 lead at the end of the second period. With ten goals in the playoffs, he has scored the second most goals in the NHL behind teammate Zach Hyman. Draisaitl is the first Oilers player since Esa Tikkannen in 1990 and 1991 to score at least ten times in two consecutive playoff seasons.
“In the third game, we got off to a good start – and we still lost,” said Oilers captain Connor McDavid, referring to the previous home defeat, when Edmonton lost despite leading 2-0. “This time, it was the other way round. Each of us fought, and this is an important win.”
