While battling injuries in the 2024 Stanley Cup Final, Draisaitl didn't look like himself. In Game 1 Wednesday, he was "a game-breaker."

Edmonton got on the board early as Draisaitl found the net just a minute into the game. The Panthers eventually responded in the first with a goal from Sam Bennett, and a failed Oilers challenge of the goal set up a power play for Florida that resulted in a goal from Brad Marchand just moments later.
