Impact Draisaitl had a hand in goals by Corey Perry and Connor McDavid in this contest.

Draisaitl has two goals and three assists over three second-round games, and he's up to five goals, 10 helpers, 26 shots on net, 10 hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through nine playoff outings. He'll look to shake off his miscue in Monday's Game 4.
