Edmonton Oilers enjoy rest as they await winner of Vancouver Canucks-Nashville Predators series
During what they hope is a deep run through the gruelling Stanley Cup playoffs this spring, the Edmonton Oilers will take all the time off they can get.The Oilers defeated the Los Angeles Kings 4-3 on Wednesday night at Rogers Place to close out the best-of-seven series in five games, advancing to the second round and saving themselves a long trip back to Los Angeles for Game 6.
“I’d be lying if I said that I’m not going to pay attention to it,” Draisaitl said. “This is our job, this is our life. Definitely going to pay attention to who we’re going to face next.”Though rest is a weapon, McDavid said the Oilers can’t become complacent and lose the momentum of their first-round victory.
“Whoever we see next round, the power play’s going to look different just because of the way the other team’s going to kill,” Knoblauch said. “We’ll have to be prepared for that. Same with our penalty kill, our penalty was great against L.A. but we’re gonna see different setups, whether it’s a different shooter, formation, whatever it is. We’re going to have to adjust.”
The teams were tied with 12 five-on-five goals each in the series, and Los Angeles outshot Edmonton 123-107 in those situations.
