The Oilers were one game away from accomplishing their goal in 2024, and believe the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs will be time to finish the job.

The Golden Knights, however, clinched a Stanley Cup Playoff berth when the Calgary Flames lost to the Utah Hockey Club 3-1 on Tuesday. The Golden Knights (45-21-8) are first in the Pacific Division, five points ahead of the Los Angeles Kings.

Leon Draisaitl added to his NHL-leading goal total by scoring on a 5-on-3 power play to put the Edmonton Oilers ahead for good Tuesday night, but the Vegas Golden Knights clinched a playoff berth despite the 3-2 loss.

Leon Draisaitl scored his league-leading 52nd goal to highlight a three-goal second period for the Edmonton Oilers, who held on to defeat the Vegas Golden Knights 3-2 on Tuesday night in Las Vegas.

Draisaitl scored a power-play goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights. Draisaitl has three goals, one assist and 10 shots over two contests since returning from an undisclosed injury.
