The Edmonton Oilers and Winnipeg Jets will play game one later tonight. I cannot wait to tune in and watch this one, let’s break everything down. Ahead of the matchup.
The Oilers and Jets played nine times this past season, and the Oilers walked away with wins in seven of the nine matchups this season. The buildup to this series cannot be understated and I cannot wait to get to take it all in.
The regular season ended today with Vancouver and Calgary playing the last game of the season and Connor McDavid walked away with the Art Ross Trophy. While a trophy like that is great to add to the legacy of McDavid, I believe the playoffs are a better place to leave it all on the ice.
Projected lineups for the Edmonton Oilers and Winnipeg Jets.

Dominik Kahun – Connor McDavid – Jesse Puljujarvi
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins – Leon Draisaitl – Kailer Yamamoto
