Edmonton Oilers WAGs party in Greece while team fights for Stanley Cup
The ladies' journey has been well-documented by Lauren McDavid, the wife of Oilers captain Connor McDavid, on her Instagram Stories, sharing snaps on the plane and at their sunny destination.
And she confirmed they didn't miss out on the Game 1 action, watching the game from the plane.
While the party in Greece is to celebrate Desjardins, there was even more reason to cheer for the bride-to-be after Draisaitl scored the overtime winner to give the Oilers the early series lead.
Lauren McDavid did note the timing of the trip was a bit less than ideal, considering what their hubbies are up to at home.
'PSA – when the bachelorette falls on less than ideal timing but we will be back for the good stuff!!' Lauren wrote Wednesday night. 'Go Oilers!!!'
Desjardins also shared a snap of Mikayla Nurse, wife of Oilers defenceman Darnell Nurse, on her Instagram Stories, writing 'We're reaaaaady!'
Desjardins, a Sudbury-born actress, announced her engagement to Draisaitl, a Hart Trophy finalist, last July.
