From there, things went south for the Oilers. Sam Reinhart, Sam Bennett, Aaron Ekblad, and Evan Rodrigues all scored in quick succession, leaving the Oilers hopelessly outmatched and desperate to turn things around. Draisaitl, despite his best efforts, couldn't make an impact.
Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch had this to say, "The game got out of control. I don't believe we would have behaved or played like that if the deficit was only one or two goals."
But what really set this game apart was the brawl that erupted in the final period. The chaos began in the first period with a heated scrum after the horn sounded, and it escalated significantly in the third period. The key incident that led to the brawl occurred when Oilers forward Trent Frederic went after Florida's Sam Bennett, prompting all ten players on the ice to engage in a massive brawl[1].

As the game slipped away, the Oilers lost their cool, leading to a decisive loss and a daunting 2:1 deficit in the series.
