The Oilers have been here before, heading back to Edmonton with their season on the line.

The team is looking for a different result this time around.

91裸聊视频淵ou just have to take it one game at a time,91裸聊视频� Oilers star Leon Draisaitl said Friday. 91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檝e got to go home and win one game at home. That91裸聊视频檚 all we have to do.91裸聊视频�

Edmonton is in must-win territory after dropping a 3-2 decision to the Vancouver Canucks in Game 6 of their second-round Stanley Cup playoff series on Thursday.

The Canucks hold a 3-2 edge in the best-of-seven matchup and can advance to the Western Conference final with a win in Saturday91裸聊视频檚 Game 6 in Edmonton.

The Oilers have teetered on the brink of elimination before.

Last year, the club fell behind the Golden Knights 3-2 before returning to Edmonton for Game 6. Vegas wrapped up the series with a 5-2 victory in that game and went on to win the Stanley Cup.

91裸聊视频淲e didn91裸聊视频檛 win last year91裸聊视频檚 Game 6. We91裸聊视频檒l learn from that, I guess,91裸聊视频� Oilers captain Connor McDavid said after Thursday91裸聊视频檚 loss. 91裸聊视频淵ou91裸聊视频檝e got to be ready to go.91裸聊视频�

Limiting McDavid91裸聊视频檚 production has been key to the Canucks91裸聊视频� success throughout the series.

The superstar didn91裸聊视频檛 have a point in Games 3 or 5, and was held without a shot on net in Game 1 91裸聊视频� the only time that91裸聊视频檚 happened across his 59 playoff appearances.

Despite the added attention, McDavid has put up one goal and five assists in the series, part of the 18 points he91裸聊视频檚 amassed across 10 playoff games this year.

The task of taming the elite centre has largely fallen to a line centred by Canucks power forward J.T. Miller, who said balancing respect for McDavid91裸聊视频檚 skill with aggression has been key.

91裸聊视频淲ithout being disrespectful, I thought the last couple games we were kind of giving Connor a little too much respect, playing not to get scored on a little bit and when you do that, he just gets more time with the puck,91裸聊视频� Miller said after scoring the game-winning goal in the final minute of Game 5.

McDavid and Draisaitl are known to rise in pivotal moments, however, and both know they91裸聊视频檒l be turned to once again come Saturday.

Draisaitl is riding a point streak that stretches across all 10 of Edmonton91裸聊视频檚 playoff games this season and leads the league in playoff scoring with 21 points, including three goals and eight helpers against Vancouver.

91裸聊视频淭hat91裸聊视频檚 what we get paid to do, to step up in big moments,91裸聊视频� the German forward said.

Who else will be on the roster could be in flux, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch hinted Friday. The coaching staff is looking at whether they should add 91裸聊视频渇resh legs91裸聊视频� to help the team, he said.

91裸聊视频淚 think there91裸聊视频檚 adjustments, whether those are the lines, fresh body or two coming in,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淎gain, those are things we91裸聊视频檒l assess and make that decision (on Saturday).91裸聊视频�

A question mark also looms over who will start in net for the Oilers.

Stuart Skinner was in goal for the first two games of the series, but was replaced for the third period of Game 3 after allowing four goals on 15 shots.

Calvin Pickard came on in relief, making his NHL playoff debut at the age of 32, and now has a 1-1 post-season record with a 2.21 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage.

91裸聊视频�(Pickard) has been great in the two games he91裸聊视频檚 played, gave us an opportunity to win both those games,91裸聊视频� Knoblauch said. 91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檝e slept on (the decision) and we91裸聊视频檒l get together today and then we91裸聊视频檒l make that decision and decide who91裸聊视频檚 going to play (on Saturday).91裸聊视频�

The Canucks know their opponents will battle hard to keep their season alive, and Vancouver needs to be prepared, said head coach Rick Tocchet.

91裸聊视频淭he next 48 hours is big,91裸聊视频� he said after Thursday91裸聊视频檚 win. 91裸聊视频淲hat we do, how we handle it. It91裸聊视频檚 a short prosperity, right?

91裸聊视频淲e win a game 91裸聊视频� big game 91裸聊视频� go up 3-2. But it91裸聊视频檚 going to be so tough there Saturday night. So how do we manage these next 48 hours mentally, physically. That91裸聊视频檚 the key. That91裸聊视频檚 playoff hockey.91裸聊视频�
