Whoa! 

What just happened!?!

The Edmonton Oilers just exploded for two quick goals late in the 3rd period of Game 1 to secure victory against the Vegas Golden Knights.

So again... what happened?

The Oilers just stormed the Vegas defensive zone for the majority of the 3rd period and, as a result, they earn themselves a tidy victory in Game 1.

Read below for our earlier report from this game, specifically on the game tying goal earlier in the 3rd.

Edmonton Oilers superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have tied things up in Vegas this evening.

With the Oilers down 2-1 early on in period three of Game 1 against the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2nd round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs this evening, McDavid and Draisaitl hooked up on a truly bizarre play.

McDavid made a nice pass to Evan Bouchard who released a bomb on net, Vegas goaltender Adin Hill made a nice save but the rebound bounced out to Draisaitl who made a crazy bank shot off of Hill.

Check it out:

If that were anyone else I'd say it was luck. But the fact that it's Draisaitl tells me it was legit. 2-2 game. Let's go!
