You can never count out the Edmonton Oilers or Leon Draisaitl.
They matched an NHL record set in 1919 after coming back from a 3-0 deficit on the road in the Stanley Cup Finals.
The Oilers defeated the Panthers 5-4 in overtime to win game four of the series. As he's been for much of the postseason, Draisaitl was the hero.
Halfway through the first OT period the Edmonton forward was hounded by multiple Florida defenders, but he wasn't deterred.
Draisaitl attacked the slot and chipped in a beautiful shot, making the game-winner look effortless. It was a key victory for the Oilers on the road after falling behind 3-0 in the first period.
Along with the win, Draisaitl set the NHL postseason record for most overtime goals in a single postseason. He's clinched the game-winner for Edmonton four times in this playoff run.

If all things were equal, the Oilers would like to win more games in regulation. But when overtime begins they know Draisaitl will never be afraid of the moment.
With Edmonton just two wins away from the Stanley Cup, they may need a little bit more magic from their star forward.
