Oilers advance to Western Conference final with 3-2 win over Canucks

VANCOUVER — It’s been 370 days since Leon Draisaitl declared the 2023-24 season to be ‘Cup or Bust’ for the Edmonton Oilers.

They’ll continue their quest to bring the Stanley Cup home to Canada for the first time since 1993 after Edmonton’s 3-2 win in Game 7 over the Vancouver Canucks.

After learning that their leading goal-scorer, Brock Boeser, was sidelined due to a reported blood-clotting issue, the Canucks were forced to juggle their forward lines on Monday. Sam Lafferty and Ilya Mikheyev drew in for Game 7 after a two-game absence, while Vasily Podkolzin was scratched. Nugent-Hopkins extended the lead to 3-0 with a sharp-angle shot at 15:22. It was Edmonton’s first power-play goal in three games.
