NHL Makes Leon Draisaitl Announcement After Wild Oilers-Panthers Game 1
NHL Makes Leon Draisaitl Announcement After Wild Oilers-Panthers Game 1 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The series opener of the 2025 NHL Stanley Cup Final was one to remember.

Advertisement The former Hart Memorial Trophy winner was the first one to light the lamp in the series, needing just 66 seconds into the contest to find the back of the net and put Edmonton on the board for a 1-0 lead. The Panthers scored the next three goals, including one from Sam Bennett early in the second period to give Florida a 3-1 lead. But Viktor Arvidsson answered that goal with his own a little over a minute later to cut Edmonton's deficit in half. Mattias Ekholm scored what would become the lone goal from either team in the third period, sending the contest into overtime, where Draisaitl weaved his magic.

Among all teams that made the 2025 playoffs, the Oilers average the most goals per game with 4.06.
