Oilers Win NHL Playoff Opener

The Oilers' postseason campaign got off to a successful start at Rogers Place on Monday night.

Goaltender Connor Ingram made several key saves to weather a late surge from the Ducks and secure his first career playoff win.

While McDavid was held scoreless, the Oilers' depth scoring proved decisive in the see-saw battle.

The team now looks to build momentum in Game 2 on Wednesday as they aim to advance past the first round for the fourth consecutive year.
