The Oilers are in the second round of the NHL Playoffs for the fourth straight season and looking to return to the Stanley Cup Final after losing in Game 7 against the Panthers last year.
Connor McDavid’s squad finished with 101 points, just three fewer than last year’s total. They played the Kings in the first round for the second consecutive year, and they took care of business.
Edmonton will face the Golden Knights in this year’s semifinals. Las Vegas was the second-best team in the Western Conference this year with 110 points, so it will have home-ice advantage in the series.
