Oilers Roll Over Ducks, Force Game 7
The Edmonton Oilers rolled over the Anaheim Ducks as they won 7-1 to tie the series at 3 games a piece and they were also able to force a game 7. The Oilers would take no hesitation into scoring as they struck 2 minutes into the first as Leon Draisaitl would put the puck past Gibson to make it 1-0. Then about 5 minutes later Draisaitl would score again as he did a spin-o-rama and put the puck in with a backhand to make it 2-0, and the Oilers weren't done. Only a minute and 3 seconds later Zack Kassian would get on the board to make it 3-0. Then at the halfway mark Mark Letestu would score his first of two as he would jump on his own rebound to make it 4-0. Then with 2 minutes left in the first Letestu would score again to make the score 5-0 in favor of the Oilers, and the second would be no better for the Ducks. Only 45 seconds into the second Anton Slepyshev would roof the puck very early to make it 6-0. The Ducks would try to take the pressure off as Rickard Rakell would score to make it 6-1, but it would not help. As 7 minutes later Leon Draisaitl would score his third of the game to make it 7-1 in favor of the Oilers. Draisaitl would cap off the hat trick to give the Oilers a big win. This was Draisaitl first ever playoff hat trick, and he did it in a great fashion.
