Summary
The wait is finally over! Postseason hockey returns to Rogers Place tonight as the Edmonton Oilers kick off their quest for the Cup against the Anaheim Ducks. Dustin Nielson and Tom Gazzola are in the captain's chairs to break down everything you need to know before puck drop. On today's massive Game 1 edition: The Leon Question: Leon Draisaitl has been skating with the top power-play unit—is he a lock for Game 1, or will Knoblauch play it safe? We dive into the latest from the morning skate. Lineup Chemistry: With Matt Savoie coming off a regular-season finale hat trick and Connor McDavid securing his 6th Art Ross, how do the lines look for tonight? Crease Confidential: Who gets the nod in net? We look at the case for Connor Ingram and what the Oilers need from their goaltending to set the tone. Scouting the Ducks: Anaheim is back in the dance for the first time in eight years. We break down Joel Quenneville's squad, the threat of Cutter Gauthier and Leo Carlsson, and how the Oilers can exploit their young blueline. Keys to the Win: What is the specific blueprint for an Oilers Game 1 victory? The Oil Stream is presented by Boston Pizza!
