Things are already getting testy for a Round 2 series that has yet to begin between the Vancouver Canucks and Edmonton Oilers. The Canucks were able to punch their ticket to the second round following a 1-0 win over the Nashville Predators last night, while the Oilers wrapped up their series versus the LA Kings on Wednesday. In nine total postseason games against one another, the Oilers have a 7-2 record, though the Canucks handled them with ease this regular season, going 4-0-0 while outscoring them 21-7.
For the third straight season, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl ensured the Los Angeles Kings didn't make it past the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Kings were eliminated by the Edmonton Oilers Thursday night after McDavid and Draisaitl dominated in a 4-3 Game 5 victory. After Alex Laferriere took advantage of a fortunate carom off the boards to tie the score late in the first period, Blake Lizotte put the Kings ahead in the second.
* Connor McDavid recorded two assists to help the Oilers advance to the Second Round and became the third player in Stanley Cup Playoffs history to record 11 helpers through five games. * Jason Robertson scored the game winner as the Stars became the first home team to earn a victory in their opening-round matchup and took a 3-2 series lead.
