The Edmonton Oilers are officially tied for first place in the Pacific Division, but who will they face in Round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs?   In today’s episode of Locked On Oilers, host Nick Zararis breaks down the final stretch of the regular season and maps out Edmonton's ultimate path to the Stanley Cup Final! We dive deep into the numbers to analyze the most likely first-round opponents, including the Utah Mammoth, Anaheim Ducks, Vegas Golden Knights, and LA Kings.
