Smith’s shot was fired from a sharp angle and appeared to be heading wide before Draisaitl, in an attempt to cut off the lane, inadvertently redirected it into goaltender Stuart Skinner's goal with the netminder outside of position and the puck already past him.

The Oilers and Golden Knights were ready for overtime when Leon Draisaitl scored a stunning own goal to give Vegas the victory.

The Oilers are proving to be a worthy Stanley Cup contender with each passing game — even with their star duo not at their best.
