Oilers level semi-final series in Las Vegas
Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid each scored twice as the Edmonton Oilers tied their Western Conference semifinal series at one game apiece with a 5-1 victory over the Golden Knights in Las Vegas on Saturday night. Drasaitl, who scored four goals in the first game, has now tallied at least one point in the first eight games of the postseason, posting 17 points (13 goals, 4 assists). McDavid, meanwhile, is on a seven-game point streak, with five goals and 11 assists. Evan Bouchard also scored for the Oilers, while rookie goaltender Stuart Skinner stopped 30 shots. Ivan Barbashev ruined Skinner’s bid for a shutout less than two minutes into the third period by scoring his third goal of the series, the lone goal for the Golden Knights. Game 3 will be Monday in Edmonton, where the Oilers were 23-12-6 during the regular season. (AP)
