'I think we saw maturation with the Oilers as a whole.'

In the latest edition of The Panel presented by Sportsnet, Paige Martin, Jack Michaels & Bob Stauffer recap the #Oilers series victory over the Kings & preview their second round matchup against the Canucks.

Also, a BIG thank you to Griffin Perry for helping me out with the mic yesterday for Darnell’s media availability!

Connor McDavid put up 11 assists in the opening round — tied for second most all time in the first five games to begin a postseason.

Round 1:
1G, 11A — 12 PTS

He and Draisaitl (5G, 5A) are the lone double digit point scorers so far in the playoffs. #Oilers
