This might be the second year that these teams are facing each other, but this is not last year's Edmonton Oilers. Here are my three major series predictions: Oilers Won't Go Down 0-3 The Oilers have not lost more than two games in a row for this entire playoff run. Since losing their first two games against the Los Angeles Kings, they have only lost two total games. Advertisement They have demonstrated a calmness and maturity that they didn't have last year. Those attributes will serve them well in the Cup Final. And there is no way that Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl allow their team to be put in the same unfortunate situation. Evander Kane Will Be Evander Kane It's time for the Oilers to raise some Kane…that is, Evander Kane. Last year, Kane was virtually invisible in the series against the Panthers. He only played two games (Games 1 & 2), recording two hits and one block in 25 total minutes of ice time. That's not going to be good enough this year. Kane seemingly took a backseat during the Dallas Stars series. I suspect he might have struggled to find a way to get physically engaged. There should be no struggles to get physically engaged with the likes of former Calgary Flames forwards Sam Bennett and Matthew Tkachuk. Oilers Will Get The Last Laugh My final prediction: the Oilers will win the Stanley Cup. There is enough different about this year's Oilers that they won't fail in the final twice. Oilers in five.

Hockey fans united in support after Jets star Scheifele's father dies
When hockey fans around the world heard about the death of a Winnipeg Jets star's father ahead of the club's decisive Game Six playoff matchup, they opened their hearts — and their wallets. It was announced Saturday afternoon that Brad Scheifele, father of Jets centre Mark Scheifele, had died the night before. Despite the news, the younger Scheifele suited up for the game against the Dallas Stars, scoring what would be the team's final goal of the playoffs before they were eliminated in overtime. After the news broke, the True North Youth Foundation received more than $65,000 in donations, mostly based around Scheifele's No. 55 jersey number. The foundation's Dwayne Green told 680 CJOB's The Start that donations based around 55 — like $5.55 or $55, or even $5,500 from both the Dallas Stars and food delivery company, Skip the Dishes — have been the order of the day. Story continues below advertisement 'When you see something like that come out of such a tough moment, it really reminds you of how sport can unite humanity, in many ways,' he said.

'(Whether Scheifele is) talking to kids and doing school visits, and whether it's mentoring one of our hockey teams, that alone is pretty remarkable when you think of how busy their schedule is,' Green said. 'He's out there hopping on the ice with the kids and running through some practices or coming to a game and watching them — just being someone they can rely on as another person in their corner to show support.' Green said the response has been overwhelming, with more than 900 donations so far. Anyone interested in donating can do so at the foundation's website.

Messier Would Love Oilers To 'Bring It Full Circle'
EDMONTON – 'It was incredible to be in the rink in Game Six last year.' Almost everyone who attended last year's Stanley Cup Final echoes the same sentiment – the atmosphere was unreal. When the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Florida Panthers in Game Six of the Finals, Oilers legend Mark Messier was on hand to take in the game. Advertisement Bookmark The Hockey News Edmonton Oilers team site to never miss the latest news, game-day coverage, and more. 'The fans love this team,' Messier told The Hockey News in one of a select few exclusive interviews to promote the launch of a new 'City of Champions' Limited-Edition can with Budweiser. Trending Oilers Stories Oilers Injury Update: Ekholm and Kane's Playoff Status Oilers Injury Update: Ekholm and Kane's Playoff Status The playoffs are so close you can taste it.

Advertisement 'They love McDavid, they love Draisaitl, they love the players,' Messier said. 'I don't think I see as many jerseys being worn for any one team around the league ever.' 'I think they've etched their names and their personalities as people and as players into the fabric of Edmonton.' The Oilers haven't had the same season that they did last year. While they didn't fumble as hard out of the gate as last year's team did, it hasn't been smooth sailing. Not by a long shot. Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Kings is the club's 81st of the year. They have a 47-28-5 record and 99 points, two points behind the Kings. Advertisement Last year, they finished with a 49-27-6 record and 104 points. They aren't far from last year's rendition in the grand scheme of things. Mark Messier (Budweiser Canada) 'I think everybody's cheering for them (so hard) to win,' Messier stated, 'to really bring it full circle – including me.' The Oilers dynasty of the 1980s had four Stanley Cups to hang their hats on, while this generation of Oilers (Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Evan Bouchard) still has a goose egg. 'I was cheering so hard for them last year, and we're just praying that they can get healthy, get back there, close the loop and win the Stanley Cup.' It's safe to say that every fan in Oil Country feels the same way as Messier. Add us to your Google News favourites, and never miss a story.

The shots were 19-4 in the first goalless period of the series. It was 33-12 after two as Edmonton's hard press continued. And the shot clock ended 46-22, with the scoreboard 3-1. That, against the best home team in the NHL. The score flattered L.A., frankly. It should be stated that Darcy Kuemper was all that stood between that score and a beat-down. He was spectacular. At the other end, Calvin Pickard was more than good enough. The Kings now teeter on the brink of elimination, as the Oilers come home to Rogers Place for a potential clinching Game Six. Here's the tale of the tape… CALVIN PICKARD. 7. Made his first save on the Power Play nine minutes in. Fought off a Doughty wrister through traffic in the opening frame. Two saves on Foegele to start the second, a toe stop and another up high. A high tip he had no chance on for the 1-0. Got just enough of a Kempe breakaway attempt to keep it 1-1. Looked very much like Byfield put his hand on the puck in the crease but there was no call. Nice glove grab on Kempe with 3:35 remaining. Another important save on Fiala late. Stopped 21 of 22. All he does is win! This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. CONNOR McDAVID. 6. Absorbed eight hits in the first frame alone. A slick cross-ice pass to Bouchard who was stoned by Kemper in the first. Hard wrist shot forced Kuemper to squeeze a puck hard, keeping it 1-1. Great chance on a wraparound but it bounced inches wide. Neat feed up to Nugent-Hopkins at the attacking blueline with the 3-1 empty net goal. Seventy percent CF V5v5. Fought through a lot of flak tonight, you have to admire his competitiveness. RYAN NUGENT-HOPKINS. 7. A clear that killed off the Kings first-period man advantage. Lost faceoff on the 1-0. Created a dangerous chance in front with a tidy backhand from below the goal line. Third period PK clear. Chip shot on net late in the third. Clutch blocked shot late then salted it away with the empty netter. Essential reading for hockey fans who eat, sleep, Canucks, repeat.

Drew a penalty with a near knee-on-knee from Kuzmenko that looked bad and could have been so much worse. Physical, four hits in the first period alone. Received an excellent Nuge pass right in front but could not drain it. Another four hits in the second. Six shots. Ten hits to end the night. Warrior-type effort. JAKE WALMAN. 7. A great feed inside to Corey Perry who just missed the tap-in. 'Third assist' with a high clear of the zone which led to the Oilers break and the 2-1 at the other end. Jumped on a loose puck in his own end on the PK and cleared it safely away. Blocked shot same shift. High-quality performance. EVAN BOUCHARD. 6. Robbed by Kuemper's lightning glove off a fine pass through coverage from McDavid. Gained the zone on McDavid's terrific chance at 9:52 of the second. Excellent stick to clear a loose puck from the slot early in the third. High Dangers 8-4 on his watch. Led the D-corps at 22:14 TOI. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. LEON DRAISAITL. 7. Fed Perry for a PP chance in the first. A splendid one-touch pass to spring Walman and Perry early in the second. Sprung Perry for a Grace 'A' in the second. Denied by Kuemper off a great backhand pass by Perry. A zone clear and then a pass out of the zone to earn the secondary assist on the 3-1. Great game. Seventy-four percent CF 5v5. VIKTOR ARVIDSSON. 6. Shot from the doorstep nine minutes into the first, off a turnover. Terrific play along the wall to spring McDavid and Bouchard for a Grade 'A' chance. Hammed a shot on net, the rebound from which Janmark slammed home for the 2-1. VASILY PODKOLZIN. 6. A hard play behind the net created a chance for Arvidsson in front. Nice pass to Arvidsson on Janmark's eventual 2-1 goal. Had six hits. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. BRETT KULAK. 6. A point shot rattled dangerously around the crease late in the second. Solid defensive play on Byfield behind his own goal line. Excellent stick disrupted a Kempe sortie deep into the third. HDSC 3-5 5v5. TY EMBERSON. 6. Heavy hit on Kopitar in the first. A couple clears on a first-period PK. Two more clears on a third-period kill. Seventy-seven percent on draws. Particularly good PK work on the night. ADAM HENRIQUE. 6. A backhand and then forehand chance point-blank in the first. Fed a pass over to Frederic on a 2-on-1 but no dice. Commanding night in the faceoff circle. EVANDER KANE. 7. Attempted bank shot his first shift. Another chance close in late in the opener. Ripped home a wrist shot which deflected high and in for the 1-1. Landed Kempe on his pants hallway through the second. Got a stick on a Hyman rebound and nearly snaked it home. Blocked shot late. Five shots, four hits. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. CONNOR BROWN. 5. Clear on the first-period PK. Shorthanded 2-on-1 but could not find the insurance marker. DARNELL NURSE. 5. Took a second-period trip on which the Kings scored the 1-0. Took a hooking minor in the third, too. HDSC's 7-5 5v5. Two shots, three blocks, four hits in 22:15. JOHN KLINGBERG. 7. Two tremendous plays with the puck early in the second frame, the second of which set up Kane fore the 1-1. High skill play beating Doughty off the wall. Solid defender stop on Fiala late in the second. Beat by Kempe a shift later. TRENT FREDERIC. 5. Early shot from the high slot which handcuffed Kuemper. Terrific chance on a 2-on-1 late in the second but Kuemper got just enough of it to send the puck wide. Hard play on the wall in his own zone for a clear. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. MATTIAS JANMARK. 7. Roughing call in the first but his mates killed it off. Hard to the net and rewarded with a rebound off Kemper's blocker for the 2-1. Turned out to be the game winner. His second of these playoffs after scoring but two all regular season long. Three shots, two hits. COREY PERRY. 5. Chipped a pass from Draisaitl off the goalie's glove and wide on the PP in the first. Will see that gaping open net that he missed in the early second frame in his sleep tonight. Took a nifty backhand move to the net halfway through the second. Terrific backhand pass to Leon for a chance. The series is now 3-2 Oilers. Game Six is Thursday.
