Oilers' Round One Research

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee start with a look at the playoff race in the East as just 2 points separate 5 teams. They are joined by Oilers' analyst Jason Gregor (4:25) who looks at possible first-round matchups for Edmonton, if the Oilers did enough at the deadline, why Tanev would have been the perfect fit for them and confidence levels for Stuart Skinner as the uncontested no. 1 goalie. Finally, they regroup with Sam for news & notes - Tomáš Hertl gets set to make his Golden Knights debut, concerns rising for the slumping Canucks and the Sens take exception with the Devils sliding the puck in the empty net after the buzzer.
