Maybe not so much from game to game, but within each game itself, as both teams have taken turns grabbing momentum by the horns and hanging on for dear life.

The heart of the Oilers (McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Darnell Nurse) all contributed to the series win, with a couple of upstart youngsters (Evan Bouchard, Ryan McLeod) emerging as legit postseason talents.

For Leon Draisaitl, the answer is easy. The Edmonton Oilers simply need to find another gear. The Los Angeles Kings thumped the Oilers 6-2 on Wednesday to take a 2-0 lead in their best-of-seven, first-round playoff series. The result smarts but Draisaitl said Edmonton's locker room has what it takes to rally from the deficit.
