Get ready for some exhilarating hockey action! The Edmonton Oilers clinched an exciting win in the first game of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final, thanks to the impressive performance of German superstar, Leon Draisaitl.
In a nail-biting turn of events, Draisaitl not only opened the scoring at 2:00, but he also sealed the deal with the game-winning goal at 80:00 in overtime! The Oilers are now one step closer to their first trophy since 1990, leading the best-of-seven series against their fierce rivals, the Florida Panthers, by 1-0.
"What a fantastic start we had, but we need to regroup and get prepared for the next game," said Draisaitl in a post-game interview with Canadian TV station Sportsnet. He gave all the credit to his teammates Connor McDavid and Corey Perry, who provided him with excellent passes that set him up perfectly for his golden goal.
With such a fitting moniker as "The Leon King", Draisaitl sure lived up to his title on this historic night. Let's see if the Panthers can snatch back the lead in the upcoming game, set to take place in Edmonton early on Saturday (2:00 AM CET, Sky). Stay tuned to find out if Nico Sturm will be taking the ice for Florida.
The Oilers demonstrated some remarkable mental fortitude, emerging from behind after Draisaitl's early lead. The defending champions, Florida, managed to score three times, with Sam Bennett grinding in two goals at 11:00 and 23:00, and Brad Marchand netting one at 13:00. However, the tireless Oilers fought back with goals from Victor Arvidsson at 24:00 and Mattias Ekholm at 47:00, forcing overtime. And it was all thanks to Draisaitl's power play goal, which happened after Florida's Tomas Nosek received a needless penalty for delay of game.
The Oilers have proven their resilience, counting seven come-from-behind victories in the playoffs this season, joining forces with the Dallas Stars for the most third-period comeback wins (four). For the Panthers, this defeat marked their first loss after leading after either the first or second period in the past three seasons, ending a 31-game winning streak when leading after the second intermission.
