The Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl sent the Florida Panthers a clear warning following last night's comeback victory in Game 4.
Last night, in the fourth game between the Edmonton Oilers and the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup Finals, the Oilers caused a surprise by coming back from a 0-3 deficit after 20 minutes of action.
Indeed, they came out strong in the second period and tied the game before forcing overtime and beating the Panthers 5-4.
Leon Draisaitl once again played an important role in his team's win by scoring in overtime, ending the night with a three-point tally.

After the game, Draisaitl opened up on his team's effort and stated that they would keep going at it until the other team breaks, sending a massive warning to the Panthers ahead of Game 5:
We wanted to come out strong tonight, but they put us on our heels early, and we were kind of lollygagging around a little bit. It's certainly not the time to lollygag around, right? Especially after getting spanked in Game 3.
I think that once again shows you and tells you that our group never quits, right? I think we believe that no matter how bad it is, if we get over that hump of adversity, we're going to keep pushing. We're going to keep coming, keep coming, and eventually, it'll break.
You know, we don't want to be in these situations too many times. But when they happen, I think we're great at it."

The next game on Saturday will be crucial. With the series lead up for grabs, both teams will want to win to avoid facing elimination in Game 6, set to go down next Tuesday in Florida.
