Result:
WIN

The Edmonton Oilers have outstanding balance, with a winning record both home and away. Edmonton is eighth in the league in goals scored and allowed, plus fifth on the power play. They were a dog in Game 1 and won, 5-3 as part of a 19-7 run, 22-8 against the Western Conference. Anaheim is not a strong offensive team at #18 in goals scored, and #17 on the power play. The Ducks' lack of discipline was the deciding factor in Wednesday's loss, as the Oilers converted two-of-five power plays. Anaheim has defensive depth concerns, too, with defenseman Kevin Bieksa getting a lower-body injury halfway through Game 1 and didn't return. He is doubtful for Game 2, while Sami Vatanen has been sidelined with an upper-body injury since Game 1 against Calgary. Anaheim has had problems on the penalty kill, surrendering two power-play goals to Edmonton in Game 1 after yielding six in a four-game sweep of Calgary in the first round. Back Edmonton.
