Another comeback, but rare Game 1 win in a playoff series for Edmonton Oilers

  • The Edmonton Oilers won 4-2 at T-Mobile Arena on May 6, 2025, in Game 1 of a second-round NHL playoff series against the Vegas Golden Knights.
  • The Oilers have made the playoffs six straight years but rarely win series openers, having done so only three times in that period.
  • Edmonton trailed 2-1 going into the third period but outshot Vegas 12-1 in the second and rallied with goals by Leon Draisaitl, Zach Hyman, and Connor Brown.
  • Corey Perry and Mark Stone scored early, Calvin Pickard made 15 saves becoming the first Oilers goalie 5-0 in playoffs since 1985, and McDavid recorded two assists reaching 91 playoff assists.
  • The win marked Edmonton as the first NHL team to win five straight playoff games coming from behind, suggesting strong resilience and a chance to take both games in Vegas, according to Zach Hyman.
