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.

Following last night's thrilling overtime Oilers win, Connor McDavid met with reporters and discussed important issues, including why the Oilers are paying him.

Draisaitl scored the winning goal in overtime in Game 2 against the Golden Knights, while defenseman Evan Bouchard has one of the hardest shots from the point in the league. Other key players who have vital postseason experience include Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Zach Hyman and Connor Brown.
