Leon Draisaitl warned Rangers before Oilers comeback on Friday

Most watching the Edmonton Oilers game on Friday thought the New York Rangers would walk away with two points after leading 4-1 midway through the contest.

As we know now, that wasn't the case, as the Oilers battled back and ended up winning a thriller 6-5 in overtime. For most, a three-goal game would be a huge mountain to climb, but to the Oilers, and Leon Draisaitl in particular, confidence was never an issue.

Speaking with media on Sunday, Oilers defenceman Tyson Barrie said that Draisaitl warned the Rangers bench when down 4-1, «Hold on, it's coming.» He was able to not only talk the talk, but walk the walk as he had three points in the comeback victor. With the win, the Oilers improved to 9-1-0 on the season, while Draisaitl now has 23 points in those 10 games.
