Expert recap and game analysis of the Colorado Avalanche vs. Edmonton Oilers NHL game from April 13, 2026 on ESPN.
The Edmonton Oilers no longer control their fate to finish first in the Pacific Division. On Saturday afternoon, the Oilers played their final road game of the season, ending a three-game road trip against the Los Angeles Kings.
The extra frame wasn’t any different as the Avalanche were given a power play after Kasperi Kapanen was given an interference penalty for running into Wedgewood. Still, the Avalanche couldn’t cash in seeing their man advantage go 0/4 on the night in some prime opportunities and as time ran out a shootout was needed.
It’s safe to say that the Edmonton Oilers aren’t playing their best hockey at the moment. On Saturday afternoon, the Oilers headed to Northern California to play the San Jose Sharks for the second time this season, falling 5-4 in another high-scoring game.
The Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning played to a 2-2 tie through regulation on Tuesday night and are headed to overtime in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series
