Yesterday, the Edmonton Oilers (and former Flyer' Derick Brassard) won easily 5-1 against the Pittsburgh Penguins, which confirmed the fact that
Connor McDavid and his teammates will finish in 2nd place in the Pacific Division. At the same time, the Vegas Golden Knights lost in a shootout against the Dallas Stars. Peter DeBoer's players cannot rejoin the 3rd place in the division, held by the Los Angeles Kings, who also clinched their ticket to the playoffs.
