The Islanders lost to the Oilers, as you might expect, with Leon Draisaitl delivering the critical blows, as you might expect, but...it was a pretty good, entertaining game!
Draisaitl scored both goals and extended his points streak to 17. Speaking of 17, that’s how many of Ilya Sorokin’s 33 saves came in the first period.

The Isles survived that poor first period — outshot 17-6 but scoreless, for the grace of Ilya — and rebounded in the second with a strong effort, though Draisaitl had the only tally to make it 1-0 for Edmonton.
