Oilers and Stars key players

Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have been the Oilers' leading men all season. The pair has scored 47 points between them in the knockout stages.

Despite Mikko Rantanen's prolific start to the season, the team's attacking players have been nullified by the Oilers’ defence. Rantanen has scored 21 points in the playoffs thus far, and he would be pivotal if the Stars are to stay alive in the series.
