LOS ANGELES (AP) — Edmonton got significant contributions from Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to advance to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the second straight season.

The Oilers had 18 skaters record a point in their first-round series against the Los Angeles Kings, which concluded on Saturday night with a 5-4 victory in Game 6.

Vegas has home ice in the series but the NHL has not announced when Game 1 will be played.
