Edmonton at Anaheim

Hold off writing Edmonton's obituary just yet. The Oilers stayed alive, beating the upstart Ducks 4-1 in Game 5 on Tuesday at home. The proud Oilers, who have made the Stanley Cup Finals in each of the past two years, came through with one of their finest games of the season. Connor McDavid gutted out an ankle injury to produce two assists. Connor Ingram, a controversial choice to start in goal, also came through for the Oilers with clutch, timely saves. This was the fewest goals the Oilers had allowed since closing the regular season when they gave up three goals in regulation during their final three games. Edmonton has played the most playoff games of any NHL team since 2022. Anaheim, by contrast, is in the playoffs for the first time since the 2017-18 season. The pressure now reverts to the Ducks to close out the series at home. It is a pressure they are not used to. The Ducks are 3-6 in their last nine home games, and they've scored three or fewer goals in regulation during five of their last seven home contests. Take the Oilers to win, and bet the UNDER.
