QUICK RECAP: Oilers 3, Kraken 1

EDMONTON, AB – Doesn't matter how they arrive – a win is a win.

Leon Draisaitl scored the fortunate game-winner with 2:27 remaining in regulation, while goalie Devon Levi made 19 saves in his home debut for the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place on Saturday night in a 3-1 victory over the Seattle Kraken.

Owen Michaels scored his second-career goal in as many games, while Connor McDavid contributed a goal & an assist.

The Oilers captain recorded the primary helper on Draisaitl's decisive tally off a rimmed puck from Ryan Shea that struck his leg along the boards, redirecting it into the path of Draisaitl  to put the fortunate game-winner in the final three minutes.

Levi was terrific in his home debut, stopping 19 of 20 shots for the win, including a game-defining glove save on Jordan Eberle in the third period that nearly counted after officials needed a review to confirm whether the puck crossed the goal line.

The Oilers now hit the road for three games for their first extended road trip of the season, which begins on Tuesday night against the Anaheim Ducks.

FIRST PERIOD

17:09: EDM GOAL | MICHAELS IS THE NAME! Fresh off scoring his first NHL goal in Thursday's high-scoring win over the Canucks, the rookie wastes no time getting on the board with his first goal on home ice off a wicked release over the shoulder of Philipp Grubauer to the short side down low in the left circle. EDM 1, SEA 0

Alex Formenton picks up his second assist in an Oilers uniform.

0.0: END OF 1 | EDM 1, SEA 0.

EDM PP: 0-for-3

SEA PP: None

Shots: 10-5 EDM

SECOND PERIOD

10:54: SEA GOAL | Bobby McMann goes top shelf on the power play over the shoulder of Devon Levi from the slot after Chandler Stephenson pokes the puck past Ryan Shea along the boards to Jordan Eberle, who found him out front. EDM 1, SEA 1

0.0: END OF 2 | EDM 1, SEA 1. The Kraken were the more impressive team that period after tying the game through Bobby McMann before being thwarted three times in terrific fashion by Devon Levi, who's been critical to this game being tied after 40 minutes.

EDM PP: None

SEA PP: 0-for-1

Shots: 10-4 SEA

THIRD PERIOD

12:22: LEVI HEROICS!!! He's been exceptional these last two periods, and he makes his biggest save yet as an Oiler, using his athleticism to lash across and deny a back-door pass to Eberle after the puck was turned over below the goal line.

Chants of "Levi! Levi! Levi!" rain down as the officials take a closer look to see if it crossed the goal line, but the call stands, upholding his ridiculous save to keep us level.

6:31: Mathieu Joseph strips the puck for a breakaway, but can't beat Grubauer five-hole!

2:27: EDM GOAL | LEON LIFTS US INTO THE LEAD! The puck takes a crazy hop off the leg of Connor McDavid as Ryan Shea tries to throw it down the boards deeper into the Seattle zone, but it redirects through the middle and onto a platter for Draisaitl to beat his German counterpart on a very unlucky break for the Kraken.

But the Oilers aren't going to complain, leading late in this one. EDM 2, SEA 1

1:05: EDM GOAL | McDAVID EMPTY-NETTER SEALS IT! EDM 3, SEA 1
