The Edmonton Oilers are back in the post-season after back-to-back Stanley Cup final appearances.
Edmonton needed a hand by way of any result besides a Winnipeg regulation win, with the Jets losing 7-1 to the Philadelphia Flyers Saturday night.
The Oilers lost 1-0 to the Los Angeles Kings earlier in the day and fell one point back of Vegas for the Pacific Division lead after the Golden Knights beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-2 in overtime. The idle Anaheim Ducks remain one point back of Edmonton with a game in hand.
Meanwhile, Winnipeg is near elimination, being five points behind the Kings for the Western Conference’s second wild-card spot with just three games left.
Edmonton fell to the Florida Panthers the previous two seasons in the Stanley Cup final.
This time around, however, Florida has already been eliminated from post-season contention.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 11, 2026.
