LOS ANGELES — The Edmonton Oilers know how to perform when they're facing playoff series deficits. After all, they went down 0-3 last summer in the Stanley Cup Final and still nearly won it all in Game 7.

Since joining the NHL in 1979, the Edmonton Oilers have played well over 300 postseason games, winning nearly 60 percent of them. That’s a great record, but it still means that Edmonton has been on the wrong side of the score an awful lot of times.
