Draisaitl is making his case for the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP, the award McDavid won last year in a losing effort and refused to leave the locker room to accept. He pulled even with McDavid as the favorite on BetMGM Sportsbook after scoring in overtime and tying him for the postseason scoring lead with 32 points.

After a 6-1 blowout loss to the Florida Panthers in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday, Edmonton Oilers superstar Leon Draisaitl delivered an empassioned speach encouraging his teammtes to turn the page and move forward.

Leon Draisaitl scored the gamer-winner at 11:18 of overtime for the Oilers, only after Edmonton erased a 3-0 deficit, took the lead late in the third period, then allowed the tying goal by Florida’s Sam Reinhart with 19.5 seconds remaining in regulation. The best-of-7 series is tied 2-2, with Game 5 set for Saturday in Edmonton.
