ANAHEIM – For the first time in three years, the Edmonton Oilers will not be seeing a Stanley Cup final.
The Oilers were eliminated Thursday night thanks to a 5-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks in Game 6 of their first-round playoff series.
Edmonton hasn’t lost a playoff series outside of the Stanley Cup final since falling in the second round to Vegas in 2022-23. The Oilers lost to Florida the last two seasons in the Cup final.
Meanwhile, this is Anaheim’s first playoff appearance since 2017-18. The Ducks’ last playoff series win was against Edmonton in 2016-17.
Anaheim will next play the winner between the Vegas Golden Knights and Utah Mammoth. Vegas leads that series 3-2, with Game 6 to be played on Friday.
The Oilers entered Thursday’s game coming off a 4-1 home win in Game 5 on Tuesday after the Ducks rattled off three straight wins to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven matchup.
