Episode Details

The Edmonton Oilers season is on the line. In this episode of Locked On Oilers, host Nick Zararis breaks down why Game 6 against the Anaheim Ducks is the ultimate "message" game. Can the Oilers stave off elimination and force a Game 7?

We dive deep into the numbers, looking at the Edmonton Oilers' struggles in the second and third periods despite scoring first in every game of this series. We also highlight the incredible performance of Leon Draisaitl, who has 9 points in 5 games after a six-week layoff, and how his linemates Vasily Podkolzin and Kasperi Kapanen have become an indispensable top-six unit.

Finally, we discuss the immense pressure on Connor McDavid and the narrative surrounding his future in Edmonton as the Oilers look to pull the Ducks into the "deep end" of the pool in Anaheim
