Canucks Perform Epic Game 1 Comeback vs Oilers Win 5-4

Draisaitl Returned For The Third Period

Leon Draisaitl, who somewhat quietly scored 41 goals and 106 points this season, is tied for second in playoff scoring with 12 points. Draisaitl went to the Oilers dressing room at 11:58 of the second period with an apparent injury Wednesday following a 10-second shift but returned for the third period.

While Draisaitl didn't quite look the same, he still managed to play 22:18 and finished with a minus-1 rating. The Oilers will need him to be at his best if they want to even the series in Game 2 on Friday.

Canucks Pull Off The Win

The Vancouver Canucks pulled off an epic comeback in Game 1 of their second-round series against the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday night, winning 5-4 in overtime.

The Oilers took a 4-1 lead in the second period, but the Canucks stormed back with three goals in the third period to tie the game.

In overtime, Brock Boeser scored the game-winning goal just 1:23 into the extra period.

Conclusion

The Canucks' comeback was a testament to their resilience and determination. They never gave up, even when they were down by three goals. The Oilers will need to be better in Game 2 if they want to avoid going down 0-2 in the series.
