The Kings or Oilers will snap a drought Saturday night. The Oilers haven't won a playoff series since 2017, while the Kings' last series win was the Stanley Cup Final in 2014.
The Oilers were able to force a Game 7 by beating the Kings in Game 6 behind a pair of Evander Kane goals. The second was an empty-netter, after which Kane triumphantly held up seven fingers to the Los Angeles faithful to celebrate what would be a 4-2 victory.
The Oilers still have the best player in this series in Connor McDavid, and he's lived up to the billing. McDavid had three points in Edmonton's Game 6 win, and he leads the NHL in points this postseason with 12.
The Kings, meanwhile, have gotten points up and down the lineup. Phillip Danault and Trevor Moore lead the way at five each. LA will need someone have to step up and stand out to compete with Edmonton's top-level talent in a deciding game.
