Episode Details

The Edmonton Oilers and Anaheim Ducks meet in the playoffs for the first time since 2017! Is Edmonton ready for the youth movement in SoCal, or will the Power Play carry them through?

On today's special crossover edition of Locked On Oilers, Nick Sarras is joined by Kyle Kjer of Locked On Ducks to break down every angle of this Round 1 matchup. The biggest question mark heading into Game 1: Leon Draisaitl’s health. Nick and Kyle discuss the gamesmanship at play and whether the Oilers can survive without #29 down the middle.

We also dive deep into the "X-Factors" for both sides. For Edmonton, all eyes are on Matt Savoie and his incredible late-season surge. Can he provide the secondary scoring needed to support Connor McDavid? On the Ducks' side, we look at the arrival of Cutter Gauthier and Leo Carlson, and why their "nothing to lose" attitude makes them a threat
