Oilers nab their 6th consecutive win, Maple Leafs and Jets in action tonight

The Edmonton Oilers continue to work best when their backs are against the wall and they managed another comeback win on Thursday.

The Oilers are now up 2-0 in their series against the Vegas Golden Knights, with the series now shifting to Edmonton’s home ice.

Down 1-0 in the second period, Jake Walman got the Oilers on the scoreboard with his first score of the postseason.

A few minutes later, Vasily Podkolzin scored and then Darnell Nurse found the back of the net to give the Oilers a 3-1 lead late in the middle frame.

After Vegas managed to get a goal before the end of the second period, Evander Kane opened the scoring in the third period to regain Edmonton’s two-goal lead.

The Golden Knights continued to pressure the Oilers and broke through on a power play to make it a one-goal game.

A little more than seven minutes later, Alex Pietrangelo tied the game for Vegas, eventually forcing overtime.

The Oilers had a chance to seal the win with a five-minute power play in the extra frame, but the Golden Knights managed to kill the penalty.

With time winding down, Connor McDavid got the puck and beat a Vegas defender to make it a two-on-one attack with Leon Draisaitl, who then buried the 5-4 game winner.

The win made Calvin Pickard the first Oilers goalie to start the playoffs 6-0 since Grant Fuhr in 1985.

While the Oilers have Friday off, the Maple Leafs will look to improve their 2-0 series lead against Florida and the Jets will attempt to even their series with Dallas tonight.
