Overtime wins never go out of style.
The wives and girlfriends of Oilers players let loose in Edmonton on Thursday night after star center Leon Draisaitl scored the overtime winner against the Panthers in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final in Sunrise, Fla., evening the series at 2-2.
Lauren Kyle McDavid, the wife of Oilers captain Connor McDavid, took to her Instagram Stories to give fans a peek at the lively celebrations at Edmonton’s Bar Trove, where the group watched the 5-4 victory on a projector while dancing along to Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club.”
Some of the ladies matched in blue sets of pullovers and pants that featured “Oilers Hockey Playoffs 2025” etched across the front of the shirts from Sports Club Atelier.
Edmonton, seeking its Stanley Cup revenge after falling to Florida in seven games during last year’s final, gave up the game’s first three goals in the opening period at Amerant Bank Arena, where Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce and his girlfriend, pop juggernaut Taylor Swift, took in the action from a suite.
The Oilers stormed back in the second to even the game at 3-3 before defenseman Jake Walman put Edmonton up 4-3 midway through the third.
With less than one minute to go in the third, Panthers center Sam Reinhart tied things up at 4-4 to send the game into overtime.
Draisaitl, the overtime hero in Game 1, worked his magic again Thursday night.
“That’s what we do: We’re a resilient group,” the Hart Trophy finalist said. “We’re never going to quit no matter what. We’ll take it and go home.”
The series shifts back to Edmonton for Game 5 on Saturday and will return to Florida on Tuesday for Game 6.
If necessary, Game 7 will take place next Friday in Edmonton.
Mrs. McDavid and other Oilers WAGs missed Game 1 of the series last week while venturing to Greece for the bachelorette party of Celeste Desjardins, who is engaged to Draisaitl.
They watched the 4-3 overtime victory from 30,000 feet while traveling overseas.
The Oilers last won the Stanley Cup in 1990.
