Insider leaks Oilers playoff opener date

Edmonton Oilers fan, it's time to circle those dates and purchase playoff tickets because we have some playoff action coming your way! Thanks to the ever-reliable Jason Gregor, we know when the Edmonton Oilers are hitting the ice for game one at Rogers Place.

Game one will be on Monday, and don't forget about game two coming at you on Thursday. Get ready to paint the town orange and blue!



As for who the Oilers face, if the Vegas Golden Knights manage to take down the Anaheim Ducks, prepare for a rematch. It's Oilers vs. Vegas, a rematch of last year's second-round battle where Vegas won in six and claimed the Stanley Cup. Meanwhile, Los Angeles will be squaring off against the Dallas Stars.


Yet if Vegas doesn't seal the deal and Los Angeles takes down the Chicago Blackhawks, it's the Kings against Edmonton for a third straight year, with Vegas going head-to-head with the top-seeded Dallas Stars. If that's the case, the Kings will be eager to upend their nemesis finally.
