The Edmonton Oilers took hold of Game three and never let go - dominating the Los Angeles Kings in a 6-1 win. The Oilers dominated on the shot clock too, finishing with a 40-28 edge.
Three Oilers played dominant hockey last night - Stuart Skinner, Evander Kane and Leon Draisaitl. Two of those three players set records.
Draisaitl scored two goals, added an assist while taking four shots on net in 17:51 of total time on ice last night. His first goal was the game winner, and his second was the final dagger.
The German Gretzky set a new NHL record - for fastest player to tally 20 goals on the road in the playoffs. He achieved this benchmark in 26 road games, the previous record was 29 games - set by Kevin Stevens and Bernie Nicholls.
We know that Draisaitl (along with Connor McDavid) reach a whole new level come playoff time - and he has shown that already this post season. In three games he has seven points - which has him tied with Zach Hyman for second in the league in playoff scoring (take a guess at who is number one).
He now has 84 points in 52 playoff games - which is a 1.61 points per game percentage. Few players can achieve that in the regular season, yet alone the playoffs.
