The Oilers and Connor McDavid have a date with the Golden Knights in Round 2, and Edmonton's captain fired some bold remarks towards Vegas ahead of it. Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers have eliminated the Los Angeles Kings from the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the fourth year in a row. <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/new-information-reveals-why-the-oilers-will-win-game-6-and-eliminate-the-kings' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>The Oilers closed out the first-round series in six games</a> on Thursday evening. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/BetMGM/status/1918167499339616713'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> As expected, <a href='https://www.nhl.com/oilers/player/connor-mcdavid-8478402' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>McDavid</a> was the difference-maker. The star forward had 11 points, through two goals and nine assists, during the six-game series. The strong play comes on the back of his eighth 100-point season in just a decade in the NHL. With the Kings in the rearview mirror, the Oilers now set their sights on the Vegas Golden Knights in round two. Vegas advanced after coming back from a 2-0 series deficit of their own. <h3>Vegas eliminated Edmonton in 2023 before capturing the Stanley Cup</h3> It will be just the second playoff meeting for the two teams; their first was in 2023, when the Golden Knights eliminated Edmonton in six games en route to their first Stanley Cup title. Following Thursday's win, McDavid addressed reporters and acknowledged the rematch is already being planned for by the team. Obviously, we're already looking ahead here, McDavid said. We owe Vegas a good series. We don't forget what happened two years ago. Looking forward to it. Obviously, exciting tonight to get it done. But get ready to go for another big series. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Sportsnet/status/1918175012307009698'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> The 28-year-old captain wasn't afraid to make it clear that the Oilers haven't forgotten their playoff elimination at the hands of Vegas two years ago. Edmonton and Vegas each won twice in four regular-season games this past season, with the Golden Knights taking the first two games, and the Oilers the last two.
