Tonight, the Edmonton Oilers will collide with the Florida Panthers in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

After conceding the first three games of last year's Stanley Cup, the Oilers jumped out to a 1-0 lead on Wednesday night, picking up a 4-3 win over the Panthers thanks to an overtime winner from Leon Draisaitl.

Edmonton trailed for much of the game, going down 2-1 in the first period before then heading into the third down 3-2. Then, in the third period, the team managed to find the back of the net, forcing OT, where Leon Draisaitl played hero to give the team an early lead in this best-of-seven series.

Heading into Game 2 tonight, the Oilers will be looking to jump out to a big 2-0 lead before the series heads to Florida for Games 3 & 4.
