Thanks to McDavid and Draisaitl, the Oilers are another step closer to the franchise’s first title in 35 years, and them raising their play at the most crucial of times was not at all surprising to those around them.“I’ve seen them do it many times,” goaltender Stuart Skinner said. “Hopefully I’m able to see them do it a lot more.”
