Draisaitl had four hits, two blocks and a minus-4 rating Tuesday in a 5-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 6.
He had no shots. Draisaitl and Connor McDavid were absolutely smothered by the tough-checking Panthers. The two Oilers finished at the top of the postseason scoring list with 33 points, but that's small consolation when the Cup was handed to the Panthers instead of the Oilers for the second consecutive season.
Draisaitl logged an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Draisaitl set up Corey Perry's tally late in the third period, which briefly cut the Oilers' deficit to 4-2. The 29-year-old Draisaitl has four goals and four assists over eight games in the series. Overall, he's produced 11 goals, 22 helpers, 56 shots on net, 29 hits and a plus-8 rating over 21 outings this playoffs. With the Oilers' season on the line in Game 6 on Tuesday, Draisaitl may see more shifts alongside Connor McDavid to spark the team's offense.
