The Oilers picked up a 4-3 victory in Game 1 on an overtime power-play goal from Leon Draisaitl off a Connor McDavid setup after the Panthers were whistled for delay of game.

Florida responded two nights later when Brad Marchand took advantage of a funny hop in the defensive zone before taking a breakaway pass from Anton Lundell to seal a 5-4 double OT triumph.
