McDavid-less Oilers rally to beat Calgary Flames at Young Stars Classic

PENTICTON, B.C. — A comeback in a Calgary Flames game?

Nothing new here.

Oh, but it went the other way.

The Edmonton Oilers prospects, without 2015 first-overall draft choice Connor McDavid in their lineup, pulled a page out of the Flames playbook last season by erasing a third-period deficit and skating to a 6-3 victory Saturday night at the Young Stars Classic tournament at the South Okanagan Events Centre.

Leon Draisaitl’s penalty-shot tally on Flames goalie Mason McDonald broke a 3-3 deadlock, a chance given after he was denied the shot on a breakaway opportunity.
