With another week in the books of the 2023-24 NHL season, it’s time for an updated set of Power Rankings. As another treat this week, we’ve brought back ESPN fantasy hockey analysts Sean Allen and Victoria Matiash, who have identified the current projected fantasy MVP of each team, and offered insights into whether that projection will hold.
The projections are determined by each player’s fantasy points per game and how many remaining games they are expected to play. For goaltenders, this includes an estimate based on their crease share to date. The projection has modifiers applied that account for recent performance as well as for strength of schedule of upcoming matchups. Note that Sean handled the Eastern teams, while Victoria tackled the West.
How we rank: A panel of ESPN hockey commentators, analysts, reporters and editors each send in a 1-32 poll based on the games through Wednesday, which generates our master list here.
Note: Previous ranking for each team refers to the previous edition, published Dec. 1. Points percentages are through the games of Dec. 7. It’s not too late to sign up for ESPN Fantasy Hockey, create your team and play for free today.
Previous ranking: 1
Points percentage: 77.08%
Next seven days: @ WSH (Dec. 9), vs. LA (Dec. 10), vs. TOR (Dec. 12)
Jacob Trouba, D | Projected fantasy points: 227.19 | Projected overall rank: 13
While Trouba does admirable work with counting stats, we shouldn’t count out Artemi Panarin from taking the top Rangers spot for fantasy thanks to his shoot-first-ask-questions-later attitude this season. An Igor Shesterkin hot streak could also put him in the mix.
Previous ranking: 3
Points percentage: 72.22%
Next seven days: @ DAL (Dec. 9), vs. SJ (Dec. 10), vs. CGY (Dec. 12)
Adin Hill, G | Projected fantasy points: 225.09 | Projected overall rank: 14
Hill’s current injury — while reportedly not that serious — is a bother, as is the loss of defensemen Shea Theodore and Alec Martinez. Don’t be surprised if Jack Eichel, who has found his productive stride of late, takes over as the Knights’ leading fantasy star by season’s end.
Previous ranking: 4
Points percentage: 76.09%
Next seven days: @ NYI (Dec. 9), @ NYR (Dec. 10), vs. WPG (Dec. 13)
Cam Talbot, G | Projected fantasy points: 278.62 | Projected overall rank: 1
The 36-year-old hasn’t played more than 49 games since 2017-18. Wear and tear could come into play, and backup Pheonix Copley is settling in after a mediocre start. However, considering the Kings’ balanced scoring depth — a good thing altogether — Talbot is still likely to emerge as the club’s fantasy frontrunner.
Previous ranking: 2
Points percentage: 74.00%
Next seven days: vs. ARI (Dec. 9), @ NJ (Dec. 13)
David Pastrnak, RW | Projected fantasy points: 257.36 | Projected overall rank: 4
This one was sealed before the season began, as Pastrnak is in a league alone on the Bruins. The race for second is intriguing though, with Charlie McAvoy and Jeremy Swayman currently projected to finish 43rd and 44th overall.
Previous ranking: 5
Points percentage: 65.38%
Next seven days: vs. PHI (Dec. 9), vs. CGY (Dec. 11), vs. BUF (Dec. 13)
Cale Makar, D | Projected fantasy points: 278.08 | Projected overall rank: 2
Unless his existing lower-body injury is a bigger deal than believed — he returned Thursday night — Makar could conceivably finish top 3 in fantasy production by season’s end — even ahead of teammate Nathan MacKinnon. The Avs’ star defender is putting up Bobby Orr/Paul Coffey-like numbers.
Previous ranking: 7
Points percentage: 66.00%
Next seven days: vs. VGK (Dec. 9), vs. DET (Dec. 11)
Joe Pavelski, RW | Projected fantasy points: 211.24 | Projected overall rank: 29
Until Pavelski gives us real cause to believe he’s running out of gas, there’s no reason to believe he doesn’t have plenty left. The 39-year-old reigns as Dallas’ top fantasy royalty — with Jason Robertson serving as eventual heir — particularly with goaltender Jake Oettinger stumbling of late.
Previous ranking: 6
Points percentage: 64.81%
Next seven days: vs. CAR (Dec. 9), vs. TB (Dec. 12), vs. FLA (Dec. 14)
J.T. Miller, C | Projected fantasy points: 248.76 | Projected overall rank: 6
Miller’s goal pace has dropped recently, as has his power-play production. That suggests the door is open for Norris Trophy contender Quinn Hughes to overtake the red-hot forward in fantasy supremacy — if only by a smidge, and in leagues that don’t reward faceoff wins.
Previous ranking: 12
Points percentage: 64.00%
Next seven days: vs. OTT (Dec. 9), @ DAL (Dec. 11), @ STL (Dec. 12), vs. CAR (Dec. 14)
Moritz Seider, D | Projected fantasy points: 213.66 | Projected overall rank: 25
Seider is a safe bet to stay as the best of the Red Wings, but Alex DeBrincat is in position to challenge — especially if the Patrick Kane bump is still as valuable as it was when the pair played together in Chicago just two seasons ago.
Previous ranking: 8
Points percentage: 64.00%
Next seven days: vs. PIT (Dec. 8), @ CBJ (Dec. 10), @ SEA (Dec. 12), @ VAN (Dec. 14)
Sam Reinhart, RW | Projected fantasy points: 231.99 | Projected overall rank: 12
A surprising frontrunner for Florida, and his hot start may even be enough to insulate Reinhart’s lead when Matthew Tkachuk remembers he’s a superstar. Bonus: As linemates, Tkachuk emerging from hibernation will also help Reinhart’s totals.
Previous ranking: 11
Points percentage: 65.22%
Next seven days: vs. NSH (Dec. 9), @ NYI (Dec. 11), @ NYR (Dec. 12), vs. CBJ (Dec. 14)
Auston Matthews, C | Projected fantasy points: 248.13 | Projected overall rank: 7
William Nylander is hot on his heels, projected for 235.52 fantasy points. The Leafs better hope there is no correlation between fantasy stats and average annual value on contracts if Nylander surpasses Matthews.
Previous ranking: 10
Points percentage: 64.00%
Next seven days: @ ANA (Dec. 10), @ SJ (Dec. 12), @ LA (Dec. 13)
Connor Hellebuyck, G | Projected fantasy points: 215.07 | Projected overall rank: 22
Despite the recent lull, Kyle Connor is a prolific goal scorer. He’ll surpass 45 by season’s conclusion, amassing an impressive shot total in the process. Still, it’s tough for the winger to surpass Hellebuyck, even with competent backup Laurent Brossoit available to serve as an occasional substitute.
Previous ranking: 9
Points percentage: 55.77%
Next seven days: @ VAN (Dec. 9), @ OTT (Dec. 12), @ DET (Dec. 14)
Sebastian Aho, C | Projected fantasy points: 173.51 | Projected overall rank: 82
With Aho as top Cane projected to be only 82nd overall, the door is still open for anyone on the roster to challenge this fantasy crown. I’m probably not alone in wishing Andrei Svechnikov would rediscover his mojo soon enough to do so.
Previous ranking: 13
Points percentage: 51.79%
Next seven days: @ SEA (Dec. 9), @ VAN (Dec. 12), @ EDM (Dec. 14)
Nikita Kucherov, RW | Projected fantasy points: 274.59 | Projected overall rank: 3
It hasn’t been the fearsome threesome on offense for the Bolts this season, as Brayden Point and Steven Stamkos both lag well behind Kucherov’s production. If anyone can catch him, it would be Andrei Vasilevskiy finding his vintage form in goal.
Previous ranking: 15
Points percentage: 53.85%
Next seven days: @ TOR (Dec. 9), @ MTL (Dec. 10), vs. PHI (Dec. 12)
Filip Forsberg, LW | Projected fantasy points: 224.96 | Projected overall rank: 15
While no other Predator will catch Forsberg in the fantasy race when he’s healthy, defenseman Roman Josi can be counted on to give it a good go. Enhanced contributions from both have played a large part in Nashville’s recent climb up the standings.
Previous ranking: 17
Points percentage: 57.69%
Next seven days: @ COL (Dec. 9), @ NSH (Dec. 12), vs. WSH (Dec. 14)
Travis Sanheim, D | Projected fantasy points: 163.8 | Projected overall rank: 105
Interestingly, Nick Seeler is projected to finish less than a fantasy point behind Sanheim, so it’s arguably a toss-up at this stage. That said, one Travis Konecny hot streak could quickly re-write this pecking order.
Previous ranking: 19
Points percentage: 56.00%
Next seven days: @ BOS (Dec. 9), @ BUF (Dec. 11), @ PIT (Dec. 12)
Connor Ingram, G | Projected fantasy points: 223.63 | Projected overall rank: 16
Count us as believers in Ingram. He’s been too solid all season, for a visibly improved team, to discount as the real deal. Unless the Coyotes’ No. 1 stumbles, or gets hurt, there’s no other member of André Tourigny’s balanced squad to catch him. Not even the impressive Clayton Keller.
Previous ranking: 18
Points percentage: 56.25%
Next seven days: @ CGY (Dec. 9), @ EDM (Dec. 10), vs. BOS (Dec. 13)
Jack Hughes, C | Projected fantasy points: 242.9 | Projected overall rank: 9
Hughes’ full arrival as a superstar is on display this campaign and there isn’t any suspense over him leading the Devils for fantasy. What will be interesting to watch is just how high into the top 10 overall he can push by the end of the season.
Previous ranking: 14
Points percentage: 58.70%
Next seven days: vs. NYR (Dec. 9), @ CHI (Dec. 10), @ PHI (Dec. 14)
John Carlson, D | Projected fantasy points: 182.21 | Projected overall rank: 65
It’s telling of how “meh” the Capitals are that Carlson is easily leading the pace at a rate that would finish 65th overall. It’s unlikely anything will change to make Alex Ovechkin challenge him, but Max Pacioretty returning to the ice could be an X factor.
Previous ranking: 22
Points percentage: 58.00%
Next seven days: vs. LA (Dec. 9), vs. TOR (Dec. 11), vs. ANA (Dec. 13)
Noah Dobson, D | Projected fantasy points: 244.73 | Projected overall rank: 8
Dobson adding physicality to his game in the form of blocks and hits makes him deserving of the fantasy crown for the Isles. It doesn’t look like Ilya Sorokin, his only real competition, will be making a push.
Previous ranking: 20
Points percentage: 50.00%
Next seven days: @ FLA (Dec. 8), vs. ARI (Dec. 12), @ MTL (Dec. 13)
Tristan Jarry, G | Projected fantasy points: 202.78 | Projected overall rank: 37
Jarry is great, but this season won’t be a success for the Penguins if he leads the team in fantasy scoring. Sidney Crosby is right behind him (198.79), but Erik Karlsson is way back at 157.67 projected points. The Pens need Karlsson in the mix.
Previous ranking: 16
Points percentage: 54.00%
Next seven days: @ CBJ (Dec. 8), @ CHI (Dec. 9), vs. DET (Dec. 12), vs. OTT (Dec. 14)
Justin Faulk, D | Projected fantasy points: 161.32 | Projected overall rank: 111
Any one of Faulk, Robert Thomas, Pavel Buchnevich, Brayden Schenn, or Colton Parayko could finish atop the Blues’ fantasy podium. That speaks loudly to St. Louis’ lack of star power and mediocre record. In fact, rookie Jake Neighbours is the team’s most exciting player this December.
Previous ranking: 24
Points percentage: 45.65%
Next seven days: vs. MIN (Dec. 8), vs. NJ (Dec. 10), vs. CHI (Dec. 12), vs. TB (Dec. 14)
Connor McDavid, C | Projected fantasy points: 249.36 | Projected overall rank: 5
Without much question, a healthy McDavid will next-level himself into fantasy supremacy on his own team. But let’s spare an appreciative moment for the club’s other members of the league’s projected top 25 fantasy players: Zach Hyman, Evander Kane and Leon Draisaitl, while providing a stick tap to defenseman Evan Bouchard who is close.
Previous ranking: 23
Points percentage: 48.08%
Next seven days: vs. NJ (Dec. 9), @ COL (Dec. 11), @ VGK (Dec. 12), @ MIN (Dec. 14)
MacKenzie Weegar, D | Projected fantasy points: 204.19 | Projected overall rank: 35
The Flames aren’t scoring much. Which essentially cements Weegar — who contributes nicely across the fantasy board — as the team’s leader by a prairie mile. And probably drives coach Ryan Huska bananas.
Previous ranking: 30
Points percentage: 45.83%
Next seven days: @ EDM (Dec. 8), @ SEA (Dec. 10), vs. CGY (Dec. 14)
Joel Eriksson Ek, C | Projected fantasy points: 204.38 | Projected overall rank: 34
A sustained upswing in scoring by Kirill Kaprizov — on a team that finally appears headed in the right direction — could topple Eriksson Ek from Minny’s fantasy throne. But take nothing away from everything the big center does, including the fantasy-friendly physical stuff, that makes his club better all around.
Previous ranking: 27
Points percentage: 47.62%
Next seven days: @ DET (Dec. 9), vs. CAR (Dec. 12), @ STL (Dec. 14)
Brady Tkachuk, LW | Projected fantasy points: 205.2 | Projected overall rank: 33
It’s going to come down to Tkachuk or Tim Stutzle leading the Sens in fantasy points. They have been playing on separate lines lately and finished last season only eight points apart, so this is an intriguing race.
Previous ranking: 25
Points percentage: 48.08%
Next seven days: @ BUF (Dec. 9), vs. NSH (Dec. 10), vs. PIT (Dec. 13)
Mike Matheson, D | Projected fantasy points: 201.27 | Projected overall rank: 39
The Canadiens probably wish it was Cole Caufield claiming the top spot for fantasy, but Matheson’s strong even-strength and power-play work have him well out in front. In fact, his closest competition on the club is sophomore blueliner Kaiden Guhle.
Previous ranking: 21
Points percentage: 44.44%
Next seven days: vs. MTL (Dec. 9), vs. ARI (Dec. 11), @ COL (Dec. 13)
Rasmus Dahlin, D | Projected fantasy points: 212.66 | Projected overall rank: 27
The Sabres are hoping that with Tage Thompson returning from injury this week he can have some of his signature big games to close the gap with Dahlin. If anyone can, it’s the forward that had four hat tricks last season.
Previous ranking: 26
Points percentage: 40.74%
Next seven days: vs. TB (Dec. 9), vs. MIN (Dec. 10), vs. FLA (Dec. 12), vs. CHI (Dec. 14)
Eeli Tolvanen, LW | Projected fantasy points: 172.94 | Projected overall rank: 85
Good for Eeli Tolvanen, who’s off to his best season yet. But surely the Kraken would rather another skater lead the fantasy charge, and with greater gusto. Maybe last season’s star, Jared McCann, who seems back in a scoring groove?
Previous ranking: 29
Points percentage: 37.50%
Next seven days: vs. STL (Dec. 8), vs. FLA (Dec. 10), @ TOR (Dec. 14)
Boone Jenner, C | Projected fantasy points: 191.75 | Projected overall rank: 48
When the team that has Johnny Gaudreau, Patrik Laine and Adam Fantilli has Jenner easily leading the way for fantasy scoring, you know something isn’t going as hoped. Surprisingly, Ivan Provorov is the next best Blue Jacket for fantasy this season.
Previous ranking: 28
Points percentage: 38.46%
Next seven days: vs. WPG (Dec. 10), @ NYI (Dec. 13)
Frank Vatrano, RW | Projected fantasy points: 216.2 | Projected overall rank: 20
While his scoring is drying up some, Vatrano’s proclivity for shooting on net and blocking shots should still carry him through as the Ducks’ No. 1 fantasy star. How close rookie Leo Carlsson would’ve come, if he played a full first season, is the more pressing question.
Previous ranking: 32
Points percentage: 33.33%
Next seven days: @ VGK (Dec. 10), vs. WPG (Dec. 12)
Mario Ferraro, D | Projected fantasy points: 165.08 | Projected overall rank: 100
Following a lackluster first stretch, Tomas Hertl is ramping up his fantasy swagger. That trend should suffice in surpassing Ferraro, and all others, on a team lacking prominent assets. Getting a healthy Logan Couture back — eventually — will also help Hertl in that regard.
Previous ranking: 31
Points percentage: 34.00%
Next seven days: vs. STL (Dec. 9), vs. WSH (Dec. 10), @ EDM (Dec. 12), @ SEA (Dec. 14)
Connor Bedard, C | Projected fantasy points: 150.64 | Projected overall rank: 139
Defender Seth Jones has the long-game fantasy edge on a team where the star forward isn’t yet surrounded by a strong enough supporting cast. No doubt, injuries and other organizational moves haven’t helped.
Mike Sullivan, who led the Pittsburgh Penguins to back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017, is out as the team’s head coach, it was announced Monday.
Sullivan was the longest-tenured coach in Penguins history after just completing his 10th season. The 57-year-old, who also coached Team USA at the 4 Nations Face-Off, was under contract in Pittsburgh through 2026-27.
In a statement, Penguins GM Kyle Dubas said the decision was “the best course forward for all involved” as Pittsburgh navigates a transitional period.
“On behalf of Fenway Sports Group and the Penguins organization, I would like to thank Mike Sullivan for his unwavering commitment and loyalty to the team and City of Pittsburgh over the past decade,” Dubas said. “Mike is known for his preparation, focus and fierce competitiveness. I was fortunate to have a front-row seat to his dedication to this franchise for the past two seasons. He will forever be an enormous part of Penguins history, not only for the impressive back-to-back Cups, his impact on the core of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang and Bryan Rust, but more importantly, for his love and loyalty to the organization. This was not a decision that was taken lightly, but as we continue to navigate the Penguins through this transitional period, we felt it was the best course forward for all involved.”
The Penguins have missed the playoffs for three straight seasons as Dubas works to retool the team into a contender while Crosby is still competing at a high level. Crosby just completed his 20th straight season in which he posted a point-per-game scoring pace, and he was voted by his peers in the NHLPA as the league’s most complete player. The captain is under contract through next season on a two-year extension he signed prior to the 2024-25 season.
Sullivan was elevated to Penguins head coach in 2015 after leading the organization’s AHL team in Wilkes-Barre. With 409 wins in Pittsburgh, he leaves as the Penguins’ all-time wins leader.
With Sullivan’s departure, there are now seven head-coaching vacancies in the NHL. The Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, Philadelphia Flyers, Anaheim Ducks, Seattle Kraken and New York Rangers are also searching for new coaches right now. According to sources, Sullivan has been atop the Rangers’ wish list.
Sources also said Sullivan is keen on coaching again next season and will be a top candidate for several of the vacancies. Sullivan worked as an assistant coach with the Rangers and as both an assistant and head coach with the Bruins earlier in his career.
Home teams are on a tear in the 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs, going 21-10 thus far. Will that trend continue Monday?
The early matchup is Game 4 of the Battle of Florida, and the festivities have become heated; Tampa Bay Lightning forward Brandon Hagel was given a major penalty for his hit on Florida Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov in Game 2, and subsequently suspended for Game 3. In that game, Matthew Tkachuk leveled a hard hit on Jake Guentzel but did not receive the same punishment. What will transpire in Game 4?
In the nightcap, the clash of West titans continues, as the Colorado Avalanche look to keep the momentum going after their 4-0 victory over the Dallas Stars in Game 4 on Saturday.
Read on for game previews with statistical insights from ESPN Research, recaps of what went down in Sunday’s games, and the Three Stars of Sunday Night from Arda Öcal.
Matchup notes
Tampa Bay Lightning at Florida Panthers
Game 4 (FLA leads 2-1) | 7 p.m. ET | ESPN
Teams that hold a 2-1 series lead have gone on to win the best-of-seven matchup 69% of the time in Stanley Cup playoff history. The Panthers have won two out of three best-of-seven series when holding a 2-1 lead, and the Lightning are 6-7 all time when trailing 2-1.
Jake Guentzel had three points (goal, two assists) in Game 3, and his 40 career playoff goals are third most among active U.S.-born players, trailing Patrick Kane (53) and Chris Kreider (48).
With his win in Game 3, Andrei Vasilevskiy now has 67 for his postseason career, second most among active goaltenders (behind Marc-Andre Fleury, who has 92), and one behind Andy Moog for 11th on the all-time list.
Matthew Tkachuk scored his third goal of the series in Game 3, and became the third player in franchise history with 20 career playoffs goals (Carter Verhaeghe 26, Sam Reinhart 22); he is also the third Panther to record 50 playoff points for the club (Aleksander Barkov 62, Verhaeghe 54).
Aaron Ekblad‘s return from suspension didn’t go so well. According to Stathletes, Ekblad and Gustav Forsling played 10:50 together at 5-on-5, and the Lightning scored three goals while they were on the ice.
Colorado Avalanche at Dallas Stars
Game 5 (series tied 2-2) | 9:30 p.m. ET | ESPN
With the series tied 2-2, history is on the Stars’ side: Colorado is 11-12 when a series is tied 2-2. Dallas has gone 18-14 in the same scenario.
Nathan MacKinnon is up to 52 career playoff goals, which is six away from tying Peter Forsberg for second in Avalanche/Nordiques franchise history; Joe Sakic is first with 84.
Gabriel Landeskog made his return to the ice in Game 3 for the first time since the 2022 Stanley Cup Final, and scored a goal in Game 4, the 28th playoff goal of his career.
Mikko Rantanen (formerly of the Avs, now of the Stars) has only one point (an assist) through four games, but it’s not for a lack of trying; he has 12 shots on goal, which is second most on the team this postseason (Roope Hintz has 13).
Stars goalie Jake Oettinger was pulled in Game 4, just the fourth time in 49 career playoff starts he has played 40 minutes or less. Since 2022, Oettinger has the second-most postseason wins (25), behind Sergei Bobrovsky (34).
Arda’s three stars from Sunday night
Svechnikov potted a hat trick to lift the Canes to a 5-2 win against the Devils in Newark, giving them a 3-1 series lead. Svechnikov is the only Hurricanes/Whalers player in franchise history (45 seasons, 205 playoff games) with a hat trick in the playoffs (he now has two).
His two goals in the third period tied the game at 3, setting the stage for the Oilers to win in OT and tie up the series. Bouchard is now the fourth defenseman to have back-to-back multigoal games in Stanley Cup playoff history.
After two points over the first three games of the series, Neighbors scored a goal and added two assists as the Blues emphatically tied the series with a 5-1 victory in Game 4.
Sunday’s scores
St. Louis Blues 5, Winnipeg Jets 1
Series tied 2-2 | Game 5 Wednesday
Although he is the overwhelming favorite to win the Vezina Trophy as the NHL’s best goalie in the regular season, Connor Hellebuyck is not having a great time this postseason. He was pulled in the third period of this loss after giving up five goals on 18 shots. Winnipeg’s Kyle Connor opened the scoring in this game, but the Blues charged back with five straight goals off the sticks of Jake Neighbours, Tyler Tucker, Brayden Schenn, Justin Faulk and Robert Thomas. The home team has won every game in this series. Will that continue in Game 5 in Winnipeg? Full recap.
0:51
Tyler Tucker puts the Blues ahead with a goal
Tyler Tucker scores in the second period to give the Blues a 2-1 lead over the Jets.
Carolina Hurricanes 5, New Jersey Devils 2
CAR leads 3-1 | Game 5 Tuesday
After the Canes went up 3-0, the Devils punched back with two second-period goals, and Carolina starting goalie Frederik Andersen was knocked out after a collision with New Jersey’s Timo Meier. However, that was as close as the Devils would get, as Brent Burns added a goal at 14:14 of the third, and Andrei Svechnikov finished off his hat trick with an empty-net goal to seal the deal. Full recap.
2:05
Andrei Svechnikov scores his second career playoff hat trick
Andrei Svechnikov lit the ice with his second career playoff hat trick in Game 4 vs. the Devils.
Washington Capitals 5, Montreal Canadiens 2
WSH leads 3-1 | Game 5 Wednesday
The Bell Centre was rocking again for this one. Washington’s Dylan Strome started the scoring at 1:25 of the second period, but the Canadiens answered back with two power-play goals (from Juraj Slafkovsky and Cole Caufield) to take the lead heading into the third. However, the Caps proved they were the better team, tying it 6:39 into the third, taking the lead 10 minutes later and then pumping in two empty-netters to put it out of reach. Full recap.
0:39
Andrew Mangiapane’s big-time goal gives Caps a lead in the 3rd period
Andrew Mangiapane notches a big-time goal to give the Capitals a lead late in the third period.
Edmonton Oilers 4, Los Angeles Kings 3 (OT)
Series tied 2-2 | Game 5 Tuesday
Another back-and-forth contest for these two teams. The Kings held a 3-1 lead heading into the third, thanks to goals from Trevor Moore, Warren Foegele and Kevin Fiala. But the Oilers came back, thanks to a pair of goals by Evan Bouchard (both of which were assisted by Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid) to send the game to overtime. Draisaitl then scored the winner on the power play with just 1:42 left in the extra session. Full recap.
1:14
Leon Draisaitl’s OT winner evens the series for the Oilers
Leon Draisaitl nets the winning goal in overtime to give the Oilers a dramatic win over the Kings in Game 4.
