The Edmonton Oilers don't want the easy way out this postseason and Connor McDavid dished on why the team is so good at comebacks.

In the just-completed first-round series against the Los Angeles Kings, the Edmonton Oilers ran the best roster players on the same line for 75 minutes at five-on-five. The total represented about 65 percent of the overall playing time for Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl in the game state over the course of the series.

Edmonton claiming Game 1 with a 4-2 doubling of the host Golden Knights was just the third time in six years the Oilers won a playoff series opener at home or away.
