Edmonton hopes for a better effort after being outplayed in Game 3. The Oilers were in a similar situation in the first round against the San Jose Sharks after losing 7-0 in Game 4, tying the series 2-2. The Oilers responded with a 4-3 overtime win in Game 5 and won the series with a 3-1 win in Game 6.
"We have to put together a good game here tonight," captain Connor McDavid said. "Even if we don't win, we have to show that we can play with them and dominate them. Obviously, this is a huge swing game; 2-2, there is a huge difference than 3-1. It's a big swing game in the series."
