The Seattle Kraken suffered a late 3-1 defeat to the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place following a decisive late goal by Leon Draisaitl. With 2:27 remaining in a tied contest, a deflection off Connor McDavid allowed Draisaitl to beat Seattle goaltender Philipp Grubauer, before McDavid added an empty-netter in the final minute to seal the win.
