When the Oilers put their top stars together midway through Game 1, it tilted the ice. But it's not as simple as sticking with what works.

When Game 1 was threatening to drag into a second overtime, Connor McDavid found Leon Draisaitl for the winner.

McDavid won the Conn Smythe last season, even though the Oilers lost to the Florida Panthers in seven games in the Cup Final. He leads the playoffs with 28 points (six goals, 22 assists) in 17 games this season, but Draisaitl is right behind with 27 points (nine goals, 18 assists) in 17 games.
