McMann tied it 1-1 on the power play at 9:06 of the second period, taking a Jordan Eberle<\/a>\u00a0pass from below the goal line and lifting the puck past Levi\u2019s blocker from the left circle.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we deserved a better result,\u201d McMann said. \u201cWhen you see ones like that (Draisaitl goal), you sometimes realize that\u2019s the game of hockey and you want to put yourself in a position where something like that maybe doesn\u2019t matter as much because we have a goal up.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s always ways to counteract that, but yeah, those ones are always tough to see when a game\u2019s so close and you\u2019re playing so well down the stretch toward the end of a game.\u201d<\/p>\n

At 7:38 of the third period, Levi appeared to stop a point-blank shot by Eberle, which went to review before being confirmed that the puck did not cross the goal line.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt felt like I got some good wood on it and was just really in tight,\u201d Eberle said. \u201cHe made a great save, I wasn\u2019t sure if it was in or not. Sometimes there\u2019s good goalies in this League.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou give teams respect and too much room, they\u2019re going to create chances like in the first that cause you to take some penalties and we were kind of on our heels. But I liked our response after that. It\u2019s a marathon, it\u2019s not a sprint so we need to keep building here and get some confidence and keep rolling.\u201d<\/p>\n

McDavid scored into an empty net to secure the 3-1 final at 18:55.<\/p>\n
