Leon Draisaitl showcased his elite scoring ability with a breakaway goal just under four minutes into overtime, propelling the Edmonton Oilers to a 2-1 victory over the New York Islanders. This win marked Edmonton's fourth victory in seven games, pushing them back into second place in the Pacific Division. Calvin Pickard excelled in the net with 24 saves, while Ilya Sorokin of the Islanders recorded 33 stops, though it wasn't enough to prevent a third consecutive loss for New York.

Draisaitl's game-winning goal was his 49th of the season, cementing his position as the league leader. The Islanders managed a tying goal from Bo Horvat early in the third period but struggled offensively throughout the match, getting outshot 17-6 in the first period. Despite the loss, the Islanders remain within striking distance of a wild card spot in the Eastern Conference.
