The game started off on an odd note, with Edmonton taking a penalty about six minutes in. The first faceoff of the power play skipped right over the stick of Trouba and Connor McDavid took it on a breakaway. Instead of shooting, he left a beautiful drop pass about two feet in front of Hellebuyck for an easy goal by Leon Draisaitl. There are good players, and there are special players. McDavid is definitely one.
Just after that power play expired, Bryan Little was able to put in a rebound off the boards to tie the game at one.
