The Oilers have the top four scorers in the playoffs: center Leon Draisaitl with 24 points (eight goals, 16 assists), McDavid with 21 points (two goals, 19 assists), defenseman Evan Bouchard with 20 points (five goals, 15 assists) and forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins with 16 points (four goals, 12 points), each in 12 games.

It took coming back from 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 series leads by the Canucks, who finished ahead of Edmonton in first place in the Pacific Division, putting the nail in the proverbial coffin with back-to-back wins, including a 3-2 result Monday in Vancouver.
