"Leon Draisaitl looked as good as ever, finding linemates Vasily Podkolzin and Raphael Lavoie for a few great chances they just couldn't finish. Lavoie in particular looked very comfortable playing next to Draisaitl, as he found himself open for some of the Oilers' best chances of the game, only to be stymied by Cooley."
"Even in a meaningless pre-season game, Connor McDavid is still Connor McDavid. He engineered the Oilers' first goal, turning a give-and-go with Alex Kannok-Leipert into an odd-man rush before finding a wide-open Zach Hyman in front. In the third period, he finally got Oilers fans on their feet with a classic McDavid rush gaol on a late powerplay."
