NHL playoff bracket update: Can the Oilers win the Pacific?

Written by

The Edmonton Oilers have won five Stanley Cups in franchise history, though the last one was in 1990, when only six members of the current active roster were alive. Are they Canada's best hope to win it all this spring? In a wide-open West -- and led by the elite prowess of Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid -- they're certainly leading that discussion. Saturday's 3-2 win over the Winnipeg Jets vaults them back into the No. 2 seed in the Pacific, four points back of the Vegas Golden Knights with one game in hand.

Here's where things stand throughout the league heading into Sunday's six-game slate, including Calgary Flames-Florida Panthers and Vancouver Canucks-Columbus Blue Jackets streaming live on ESPN+.

Note: Playoff chances are courtesy of Money Puck, while tragic numbers are per the NHL's Damian Echevarrieta.

Race for the No. 1 pick

The NHL uses a draft lottery to determine the order at the top of the first round, so the team that finishes in last place is not guaranteed the No. 1 selection. However, whoever does win the draft lottery has a chance to select Alexis Lafreniere.
