The Edmonton Oilers, led by superstar forwards Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, struggled early in the 2024-25 season but sparked hope with a recent 3-2 victory against the Detroit Red Wings. Draisaitl excelled on his birthday, contributing to all three Oilers goals, including the overtime winner, showcasing the duo's potential to dominate games. Despite their individual brilliance, their performance has been uneven, dependent on the chemistry with the rest of the lineup and the contributions of key players like Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.
