ANAHEIM — The Edmonton Oilers are set for another must-win game tonight.

Edmonton is visiting the Anaheim Ducks for Game 6 in their first-round series in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Anaheim holds a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series after Edmonton earned a 4-1 win in Game 5 on Tuesday.

The Oilers lost three straight games before Tuesday following their Game 1 victory on April 20.

Edmonton hasn’t lost a playoff series outside the Stanley Cup final since falling in the second round to Vegas in 2022-23. The Oilers lost to Florida the last two seasons in the Cup final.

Meanwhile, this is Anaheim’s first playoff appearance since 2017-18. The Ducks’ last playoff series win was against Edmonton in 2016-17.
