Draisaitl's Two Goals Propel Oilers Past Flames 3-2 in Overtime

In a thrilling 'Battle of Alberta', Leon Draisaitl scored both the game-tying and game-winning goals, leading the Edmonton Oilers to a 3-2 overtime victory over the Calgary Flames. Draisaitl, returning from a four-game injury absence, netted his league-leading 51st goal of the season, achieving a milestone of 50 goals for the fourth time in his career. The game featured back-and-forth scoring, with the Flames initially taking the lead through Yegor Sharangovich and Brayden Pachal, before Draisaitl equalized late in the third. The Oilers' victory allowed them to tie with Los Angeles for second place in the Pacific Division. Despite missing key players like Connor McDavid, the Oilers showcased resilience, with Darnell Nurse contributing two assists and strong defensive play. This win marks a crucial step for Edmonton in their playoff battle, while Calgary's postseason hopes continue to dwindle.
