“From what I’ve seen through the season,” Edmonton Coach Kris Knoblauch said on the morning of Game 4, “how resilient they are, perseverance, their focus, their attitude, I’m really excited for the next 10 days.” Stuart Skinner, considered the weaker of the two starting goaltenders heading into the series, once again made the timely saves the Oilers needed as he stopped 20 of the 21 shots he faced. Sergei Bobrovsky made 16 saves for Florida.
Warren Foegele put the Oilers ahead at the 7:27 mark with a tap-in finish off a sublime pass from Leon Draisaitl, who was critical of his own performance in the series Friday morning. Draisaitl had just two assists entering Game 6, both of them from Edmonton’s 8-1 blowout win in Game 4, but his saucer pass to Foegele put on display his ability to slow the game down and pick out the perfect moment to strike.
