After the game, Draisaitl said,

"We haven't played that much, so it's nice to get a second game in and start feeling a little bit better.There aren't many left now, so that was a good one for the most part. At the end, a little bit of scramble mode, but that happens early in the year."

Draisaitl also addressed the dynamic of playing alongside McDavid. He acknowledged that it can sometimes feel like their linemates fade into the background.

"But I think the guys that play with us, they know they're just as valuable as him and me together.” Leon Draisaitl added.

The Oilers will continue their preseason schedule on October 1 against the Seattle Kraken.
