The Edmonton Oilers won Game 2 of their Round 2 series in overtime, beating the Vegas Golden Knights 5-4 on Thursday. Vegas fans were upset after a missed penalty call just before the winning goal.

Soon after, Connor McDavid passed to Leon Draisaitl, who scored the game-winner at 15:20 of overtime. It was a clean wrist shot.
