Oilers is missing a victory for conference finals in NHL playoffs
Leon Draisaitl remains without goal participation – but the Edmonton Oilers are still only a win from the return to the conference finals of the NHL playoffs.
With the Edmonton Oilers, Leon Draisaitl is only missing a victory to move into the conference finals of the NHL playoffs. The Canadians won 3-0 against the Vegas Golden Knights in front of their own fans and are now in the best-of-Seven series with 3: 1 wins. On the German night in Thursday, Edmonton can throw the Golden Knights out of the playoffs.
Two days after the bitter 3: 4 defeat with a goal in the final second, the Oilers took the lead in the 2nd minute through Adam Henrique. The Canadian veteran scored the 2-0 in the first third, Evander Kane ensured the 3-0 lead of the hosts in the second third. For the second time, Draisaitl stayed in the playoffs of this season without its own scorer. The NHL goalkeeper king had previously had five goals and ten templates in the nine games.
Like Las Vegas, the Washington Capitals are about to end. After the 2: 5 against Carolina Hurricanes, the team around superstar Alexander Owetschkin is also 1: 3 behind.
