June 13 (UPI) -- Leon Draisaitl fired a one-handed shot off Niko Mikkola and into the net, helping the Edmonton Oilers rally from a 3-0 deficit to stun the Florida Panthers in overtime Thursday in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final.
"Obviously, it was a fortunate bounce, but we'll take these right now," Draisaitl said on the TNT broadcast after the 5-4 victory in Sunrise, Fla.
The Oilers allowed three first-period goals before fighting back for a 4-3 lead, but the Panthers forced overtime with just 20 seconds remaining in regulation at Amerant Bank Arena. Draisaitl then played hero, setting an NHL record with his fourth overtime goal and tying the best-of-seven game series 2-2.
"We'd like to put ourselves into better situations first off so we don't constantly have to fight back and hang in there and scratch and claw our way back, but it is a great characteristic of our team," Draisaitl said.
Draisaitl logged two assists, in addition to his latest game-winner. Fellow forwards Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Vasily Podkolzi registered a goal and assist apiece. Calvin Pickard, who replaced benched goaltender Stuart Skinner to start the second period, made 22 saves over 51:18 on ice.
