Recap: Star light, star bright. McDavid sinks Penguins

Same lines, lineup and goalie for the Penguins as the previous game.

First period

Early on, it’s the Brian Dumoulin-Kris Letang pair against Connor McDavid, which means that Marcus Pettersson-John Marino are seeing a lot of the little old, NHL leading scorer with 20G+20A in 20 games, Leon Draisaitl.

The Oilers open the scoring 6:52 into the game. Zach Hyman carries Edmonton on the rush, Zack Kassian ends up setting a moving screen on Letang that trapped the defender to the outside. Dumoulin was directing traffic and coverage was fine until Letang got picked, leaving Hyman skating into wide open ice.
