In the just-completed first-round series against the Los Angeles Kings, the Edmonton Oilers ran the best roster players on the same line for 75 minutes at five-on-five. The total represented about 65 percent of the overall playing time for Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl in the game state over the course of the series.

The Edmonton Oilers will go as far as the superstar duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl takes them, and on Thursday night, the former Hart Memorial Trophy winners got them to the top of Game 2 against the Vegas Golden Knights.
