Oilers Fans Admire NHL's Best Offense as Connor McDavid Leads Win vs. Golden Knights

The Edmonton Oilers scored three first-period goals and never looked back en route to a 4-1 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights to knot their second-round Stanley Cup playoff series at two games apiece.

Nick Bjugstad opened the scoring at 6:46 of the first period before Evan Bouchard followed up with a power-play goal 52 seconds later.

Bouchard has simply been sensational in the playoffs, as this list suggests.
