After the first period of Game 4, it looked like the Oilers might be facing elimination in Game 5. The Panthers held a 3-0 lead at the first intermission, but the Oilers rallied. Calvin Pickard replaced Stuart Skinner in goal, and Edmonton took control. The Oilers stormed back with four straight goals to take a 4-3 lead late in the third period.

Leon Draisaitl was the hero again for Edmonton as his second overtime goal of the series tied the Stanley Cup Final at two games apiece
