The Oilers most recently won the Stanley Cup in 1990, the last in a stretch of seven dominant seasons. Edmonton won the Cup five times over that span, thanks in large part to one of the most dominant periods of Wayne Gretzky’s career.
The current squad has steadily pushed deeper into the playoffs in the past three seasons, being eliminated in the first rounds of 2020 and 2021 before reaching the conference finals last year, defeating the Kings in the first round in the process.With a win Saturday, the Oilers would be one step closer to winning another Cup.Leon Draisaitl of the Edmonton Oilers celebrates a goal against the Los Angeles Kings at Rogers Place in Edmonton, on April 25.
