The Anaheim Ducks and Edmonton Oilers are set to face off in a crucial Game 5 matchup in the first round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The series is currently tied 2-2, with the Ducks looking to take control of the series on home ice. Anaheim's top scorer, Max Comtois, has been on fire in the playoffs so far, with 7 points in 4 games, including 3 goals. Meanwhile, the Oilers' Connor McDavid has been his usual dominant self, but has been held in check by the Ducks' stingy defense in the last two games. Will the Ducks be able to capitalize on their home-ice advantage and take a 3-2 series lead, or can the Oilers even the series and send it back to Edmonton?
