Rookie Goalie Joseph Woll Helps Maple Leafs Avoid Sweep; Oilers Fire Back to Even Series With Vegas

With a chance to notch the first sweep of the NHL postseason, at home, no less, the Florida Panthers couldn’t get it done. The Maple Leafs had their backs up against the wall in Game 4 facing elimination on the road, and they turned to 24-year-old rookie goaltender Joseph Woll (24 saves). Mitchell Marner had his fingerprints on both goals (1 goal, 1 assist), and the Leafs are alive. Out west, the Oilers fired back to even the series with the Golden Knights in what appears to be a seven-game dogfight. The Edmonton duo of Leon Draisaitl (1 assist) and Connor McDavid (2 assists) were held scoreless for the second straight game, but they found their teammates in Game 4.
