1st round of NHL playoffs to see Oilers face familiar foes in 'heated' matchup against Kings - Edmonton

It wasn't until late Thursday evening on the final night of the NHL's regular season that the Edmonton Oilers learned who they will be facing off against in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, and finding out who their opponents will be must have felt like déjà vu for both players and fans. For the third-straight year, the Oilers will face the Los Angeles Kings in the opening round of the postseason. When asked about Edmonton facing its fiercest rival from California yet again to start the playoffs, Reid Wilkins, the radio host of Oilers Hockey on 630 CHED, said fans could respond a number of ways.
