"Connor is so good that he has that every game, guys skate with him and they just don't want him to touch the puck," Draisaitl said. "I wouldn't either if I was playing against him."
McDavid and Draisaitl have been Edmonton's 1-2 scoring punch this season.
"They, being Connor and Leon, push and pull each other," coach Todd McLellan said. "And they're happy for each other. They care about each other a lot. There's so much attention put on 97 (McDavid) right now. There's such a focus that others have to pick up the slack, and sometimes there's ice there available.
"In my opinion, Leon took advantage of it tonight. It worked for us tonight."
Draisaitl played 20:05 and won six of seven faceoffs in a game where the Ducks won 57 percent of the draws. He became the first Oilers player to have four points in a playoff game before his 22nd birthday since Wayne Gretzky against the Los Angeles Kings on Apr 10, 1982.
"This doesn't win us the series," Draisaitl said. "We can celebrate tonight; it's a good win, but we'll be back at it Friday."
