After a very dissappointing regular season, Connor McDavid was at his best and probably the Oilers best forward. McDavid moved from the 3rd and 4th lines during the regular season to the top line with Nugent-Hopkins and Hall for the playoffs. Another huge improvement to the Oilers playoff chances was in obtaining Devante Smith-Pelly. Smith-Pelly played on a very effective 2nd line that included Eberle and Horvat.
