Insider reveals the playoff starting date for the Oilers

The Oilers will kick off their series on Monday night, with game two following up on Thursday. So, clear your schedules and prepare to bring the noise to the arena.

Now, let's talk matchups. If Vegas defeats the Anaheim Ducks, get ready for an Oilers face-off. It'll be the Oilers vs. Vegas, and Los Angeles will take on the Dallas Stars. The series would be a rematch of last year's second-round matchup, where Vegas defeated Edmonton in six games en route to their Stanley Cup title.

Yet if Vegas doesn't come out on top and LA defeats the Chicago Blackhawks, things will shake up. In that scenario, the Kings will be up against Edmonton, and Vegas will go head-to-head with Dallas. If it's Edmonton, the sides will meet for the third straight year, with the Kings finally looking to overcome their nemesis.
