Returning to the playoffs for the first time in 11 years, the Oilers made an outstanding name for themselves. They took out one of the top, toughest teams in the Western Conference in the first round, and forced the Pacific Division champions into a seven-game series. The Ducks will go on to face off against the Nashville Predators in the Western Conference Finals.
Drake Caggiula gave Edmonton an early 1-0 lead, but goals from Andrew Cogliano and Nick Ritchie would give the Ducks the eventual 2-1 lead.
