For the Oilers, it was all about Leon Draisaitl. The Edmonton star potted all four goals in the losing effort, including two goals on the power play.
Draisaitl's performance was the 41st time in NHL history that a player scored at least four goals in a single playoff game. It was the fourth time a player did so in a losing effort, joining Ray Ferraro, Denis Savard and Joe Pavelski, who scored four goals the night before in the Stars' Game 1 loss to the Kraken.
A win will put the Golden Knights up two games before the series shifts to Edmonton. Meanwhile, the Oilers are trying to salvage a split in Vegas.
