Calgary Flames
Many newcomers signed "lights" in all lines, significantly strengthening the depth of the composition. We had a hard start in the championship with defeats, but after that we managed to adjust the game and give out an impressive series of victories, surprising the entire hockey community. The "lights" started the playoffs successfully, in a stubborn struggle they defeated Dallas in seven games, but the "lights" frankly fail with Edmonton, being one step away from relegation.
Edmonton Oilers
The Oilers have been showing a good game since the start of the season, especially with regard to the team's offensive leaders, who again actively began to score points in the new championship. The season was spent powerfully by the Edmonton players, which was not a revelation for the fans. In the playoffs, everything turned out to be not so rosy, problems were revealed in the defense of the Oilers, but this did not prevent them from beating Calgary three times in four meetings, leaving themselves a good chance of passing on.

Forecast

At home, the "lights" should get another victory.
