Kasperi Kapanen seals a thrilling 4-3 win for the Edmonton Oilers, scoring the decisive goal with just 1:54 left in the third period. This victory marks a strong start to their playoff series against the Anaheim Ducks, who are returning to the postseason for the first time since 2018.
What’s more intriguing? Star forward Leon Draisaitl makes his comeback after missing 14 games due to injury, contributing two assists in the process. This is exactly what we cover here every day — join the channel if you haven't yet.
Despite trailing 3-2 entering the third, the Oilers rallied with Jason Dickinson netting two goals. The Ducks showcased their talent as well, with Troy Terry scoring twice and Leo Carlsson adding another. Goaltender Lukas Dostal kept Anaheim competitive with 30 saves, but it was Connor Ingram, making his first playoff start for Edmonton, who earned the win with 25 saves, including a critical stop in the final seconds.
Draisaitl acknowledged the team's performance wasn’t their best, particularly on the power play, which went 0-for-2. Game 2 is set for Wednesday night at Rogers Place, as the Oilers aim for their third consecutive trip to the Stanley Cup Final.
