Edmonton definitely carried the momentum from Game 1 into the start of Game 2. The Oilers didn’t wait to get on Anaheim at the start of the game as Connor McDavid carried a puck deep just a minute into the first period. After taking a hit, the puck found its way back to the point and onto the stick of a waiting Andrej Sekera who fired the puck behind Gibson, giving the Oilers and early 1-0 lead.
The game slowed down a bit after the initial goal as neither team was able to get significant zone time.
