The Los Angeles Kings were able to stick to their game plan enough to steal a 5-4 OT win from underneath the Edmonton Oilers. Getting a lead and keeping it is going to be a necessity for the Los Angeles Kings if they want to somehow upset the Edmonton Oilers in this series.
This time last year, I declared two things in an article at Oilersnation. The first was that I was going to do regular articles previewing the Edmonton Oilers playoff series with a focus on the tactics that would be deployed.

Last season, in early January, the Oilers decided to recall defenceman Vinny Desharnais from the Bakersfield Condors. It was a big moment for the then-26-year-old from Laval, Quebec. He was on the verge of completing the rare path of seventh-round pick to NHL debut.
Of course, the Oilers will always want Connor McDavid in the lineup. He’s the best player in the world doing things few in the history of the game have done.
The Evander Kane, Ryan McLeod, and Corey Perry line for the Edmonton Oilers is looking like it could be a force for the team. Unfortunately, it also looks like there might be trouble brewing between Perry and Kane.

Remember when the Oilers and Penguins met up at Rogers Place just a week ago? Our boys took charge, delivered a lopsided 6-1 win, and wrapped up what ended up as a perfect weekend.

It’s only 4 PM MT, but we’re already hours out from the Oilers’ 3-2 shootout loss to the Buffalo Sabres, and my anger has yet to subside
For the second straight game, the Oilers fell to a non-playoff team, as they lost by a score of 3-2 to the Buffalo Sabres. It was a low-scoring game that the Oilers should’ve won, but the Sabres ultimately managed to pull off a comeback.
The Edmonton Oilers have mixed up their lines ahead of Saturday morning’s game against the Buffalo Sabres, demoting Evander Kane to the third line and reuniting a line that worked earlier this season.
Ryan McLeod had a strong start to his career with the Edmonton Oilers. During his second season, he started to show some potential when he put up 21 points in 71 games.
In response to trade talk picking up in Edmonton regarding forward Ryan McLeod, opinions are mixed. McLeod is on a terrible dry spell, not having scored in 38 games.
