EDMONTON, Alberta -- As the Edmonton Oilers celebrated their overtime win in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, Tomas Nosek made the long skate from the penalty box back to his locker room knowing that their power play was his fault.
"Yeah, it was tough for sure. You don't want to be the one guy who costs us the game," said Nosek on Friday, speaking for the first time after his delay of game penalty in overtime led to Leon Draisaitl 's game-winning goal.
"Obviously everybody can make a mistake. It happened at a bad time, in overtime and cost us a game. But it's in the past and I'm now looking forward to just keep doing my job and focusing on tonight's game," said Nosek, who will center the Panthers' fourth line in Game 2 on Friday night.
Nosek sailed the puck over the glass at 18:17
