Connor McDavid and Oilers force Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Final with a 5-1 win
In Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final, the Edmonton Oilers proved they are more than Connor McDavid. Leon Draisaitl and Zach Hyman led the team to a 5-1 victory.
They extended the series to Game 7. Draisaitl, who had been struggling, made a crucial pass. This set up Warren Foegele’s first-period goal. Hyman added a key goal in the second period.
Both players had been relatively quiet before Game 6 but stepped up when needed. Draisaitl's assist and Hyman's goal were pivotal. Draisaitl has 31 points in 24 games these playoffs.
Hyman's 16 playoff goals are the most in the NHL this season. Eleven different players recorded points in Game 6. Goaltender Stuart Skinner also contributed with a key save and assist.
The Oilers have tied the series after losing the first three games. They are only the third team in NHL history to do this. With one game left, the Oilers aim to complete their comeback and win the Stanley Cup.
