The Edmonton Oilers defeated the Anaheim Ducks 4-3 in the first-round playoff series, with goals from Kasperi Kapanen and Jason Dickinson. The game was also marked by the return of star forward Leon Draisaitl, who had been sidelined for the final 14 regular-season games due to a lower-body injury. The Oilers are seeking their third consecutive consecutive trip to the Stanley Cup Final, having lost each of the last two seasons to the Florida Panthers. The win was made by Connor Ingram, who made 25 saves for the team.
