The Edmonton Oilers are one of the NHL’s most storied franchises, but they’re on the brink of elimination from the 2025-26 playoffs Tuesday night. After three straight losses to the Anaheim Ducks in this first-round series, the Oilers will host Game 5 with their season on the line.
After back-to-back Stanley Cup Final losses to the Florida Panthers, the Oilers are now in danger of an early exit in this year’s playoffs. The Ducks, meanwhile, are looking to knock off one of the NHL’s top teams and keep their Stanley Cup hopes alive, something they haven’t accomplished since winning it all in 2006-07.
Perhaps the biggest storyline heading into Game 5 is the availability of Oilers captain Connor McDavid. The three-time Hart Memorial Trophy winner is listed as a game-time decision for Tuesday night’s must-win matchup after missing the team’s morning skate at Rogers Place.
A first-round elimination would be a major disappointment for McDavid and the Oilers, who have come close to winning it all in recent years. Meanwhile, a win for the Ducks would serve as a massive momentum boost as they continue their pursuit of the Stanley Cup.
