Holland wants Oilers to lean on experience in West Final against Stars

Ken Holland believes every Stanley Cup Playoff disappointment in his five-year tenure as general manager of the Edmonton Oilers has contributed to this moment. The cornerstones of the Oilers' roster, forwards Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and defenseman Darnell Nurse, are in their prime heading into Game 1 of the Western Conference Final against the Dallas Stars at American Airlines Center on Thursday (8:30 p.m. ET; MAX, truTV, TNT, SN, TVAS, CBC), and Holland feels this is Edmonton's best chance to win it all under his management.
