LAS VEGAS -- Leon Draisaitl's two goals Saturday did more than just help pace the Edmonton Oilers' commanding 5-1 victory against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 2 of the Western Conference quarterfinals.
Draisaitl's performance was one of the primary reasons the Oilers departed the desert with a tied series -- and momentum -- entering Game 3 on Monday at Rogers Place in Edmonton. Those two goals are also responsible for starting a conversation about how the Oilers superstar center could be in position to own one of the most historic individual postseason efforts in NHL history.
