Jun 02, 2024 at 01:30 PM ETEDMONTON — In Friday’s Western Conference final Game 5 win in Dallas, the Edmonton Oilers played probably their most complete game of the entire season.
With the chance to close to set a date with the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup final, Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch believes his team will have to step up their efforts even more. What was good enough Friday in Dallas won’t be good enough in Game 6. “As good as we were last game, it’s probably not good enough to beat Dallas in an elimination game. Our team has got to be even better than we were in our last two games.”
“Any time your season is on the line, you find an extra level,” said Oilers winger Zach Hyman, who entered the game as the top playoff goal scorer with 13. “You just have to, right? We experienced that in the Vancouver series. You just don’t have a choice — if you want your season to continue, you have to find another level. It looks like, for us, you need to be able to match that and go a step further to put a team away.
