Leon Draisaitl scored his 20th goal of the season, contributing to the Edmonton Oilers' 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning. The goal, which was somewhat unconventional, came off a rebound that deflected off Lightning defender Victor Hedman.
With this goal, Draisaitl ties Wayne Gretzky for third most in franchise history for consecutive seasons reaching the 20-goal mark. The Oilers have now won three straight games, showcasing their ability to win tightly contested matches.
Tampa Bay's head coach Jon Cooper criticized his team's performance, noting missed opportunities and a lack of execution despite the talent on the ice. The Lightning's modest two-game winning streak came to an end with this loss.
