Some Oilers such as Milan Lucic have played a Game 7 with other clubs, but haven’t experienced that pressure cooker with their current teammates. Edmonton’s last Game 7 was 11 years ago, when the Oilers fell 3-1 to the Carolina Hurricanes in the deciding game of the Stanley Cup final. The Edmonton Oilers avoided elimination in Game 6 with a resounding 7-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks at home Sunday. So the Oilers may be light on Game 7 seasoning, but they’re also unburdened by Game 7 history. Anaheim forward Patrick Eaves has played a Game 7 seven times in his career, but Wednesday might not be No.
