The Edmonton Oilers stand on the cusp of securing their place in the second round of the NHL playoffs with a crucial Game 5 clash against the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday night. The Oilers, holding a commanding 3-1 series lead, need just one more victory at Rogers Place to advance. Despite their success in Game 3 and 4, where they limited the Kings to a single goal, the Oilers are not taking their opponents lightly. Goaltender Stuart Skinner and defenseman Darnell Nurse emphasized the importance of being comfortable in high-stakes games and executing a strong defensive strategy.
