LOS ANGELES - Edmonton Oilers forward Jeff Skinner is set to play the first playoff game of his 15-year NHL career. Skinner owns the NHL record for most regular-season games played without a postseason appearance at 1,078. That'll come to an end Monday in Game 1 against the Los Angeles Kings. He's projected to play on a line with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Trent Frederic, who missed all but one game after being acquired by the Oilers on March 4 because of an ankle injury. "It's nice," Skinner said.

LOS ANGELES - It's becoming increasingly apparent that the Edmonton Oilers are going to need more from Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl than they ever have before. It wasn't supposed to be this way. Not now. Not with the two superstars in their late 20s and coming off a Stanley Cup Final appearance. The Oilers were supposed to be built for success with oodles of depth and options.

SAN JOSE, Calif. - The pieces are starting to come together for the Edmonton Oilers, although there are still a few missing. Leon Draisaitl, Zach Hyman and Jake Walman were sidelined with injuries to close out the regular season, and all of them took part in a full practice Friday ahead of a Saturday optional session. That bodes well for appearances in Game 1 against the Los Angeles Kings. The statuses of Troy Stecher, Evander Kane and Trent Frederic appear less positive or at least uncertain.

The Edmonton Oilers enter their series against the Los Angeles Kings as arguably the underdogs and maybe in their most vulnerable state of any of the four opening-round series between the two teams. They were inconsistent over the last two and a half months, and injuries piled from the beginning of March to the regular season's end.

EDMONTON - The Edmonton Oilers enter the playoffs under a shroud of doubt from outside their dressing room, thanks to a plethora of injuries and weeks of uneven play. Still, they've got two of the best players in the league on their roster, and they entered the season as Stanley Cup favorites after losing in Game 7 of the championship series by a goal. They were third in the NHL by points percentage at the end of January, too.

The Oilers win 4-3. The Flames getting a point in an overtime loss means Edmonton hasn’t clinched a playoff berth yet, but it’s just a matter of time now.
Pickard stops a breakaway on Walker at one end. McDavid sets up Brown for his second goal of the game with 20.4 seconds left at the other end. That’s McDavid’s third assist. 4-3 EDM
Buchnevich outmuscles Emberson and beats Pickard in tight. We're tied again. It's 3-3.
