But Connor McDavid and the Oilers turned things around, winning the next four games to earn a seat in the second round and leave Los Angeles confounded yet again about its inability to overcome Edmonton in the postseason.

Two of the Oilers best players over the course of the series were Connor Brown and Calvin Pickard. After coming in to relieve Stuart Skinner in Game 2, Pickard became the starter for the rest of the series. “Picks (Pickard) gave us a chance to win every night,” McDavid stated. “Played great these last four games.”
