Leon Draisaitl reflects on OT win in Game 4

Leon Draisaitl led the Oilers to the dramatic 5-4 OT win against the Panthers on the noight. After trailing 3-0 in the first period, the Oilers fought back with goals from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Darnell Nurse, Vasily Podkolzin and Jake Walman to tie the game.

Draisaitl scored the decisive overtime goal just past the midway point, leveling the series at two games each. In the post-game interview, Leon Draisaitl mentioned that the Oilers showed great resilience and did not give up despite falling behind early.

"That's what we do. We're a resilient group, and we're never going to quit, no matter what.We'll take it and go home," he said.

He also explained their first period was below their expectations but they gradually found their rhythm as the game went on.

"Our first (period) wasn’t what we wanted, and then we started to get our legs, and we started to get going a little bit. That’s the intensity that we have to play with when the puck drops," Draisaitl added.

The Oilers superstar mentioned that the team stayed calm, focused on their game plan and trusted their style of play to come back strong.
