I will disagree with a few people in here about the potential lines. The Oilers CAN NOT have a slow start this game. It's killing them. They can not start the game being shelled by the Kings and being down. Balance is out the window at this point. It's win or your done, period. The Oilers scored 3 goals, almost scored 4 goals in the 3rd going nuclear. If going nuclear gives you a chance to get off to a good start and hopefully get a lead, I think you do it. Then hopefully when you get up and force the Kings not to just sit back and line up 3-4 at the blueline, you can worry about balanced lines.

Draisaitl and McDavid started overtime, didn’t touch the puck once.
I agree with Pi, use it as a tool but not as a whole game plan. We’ll see what Woodcroft chooses.

Yup, they sure did in OT but they also almost scored 4 goals in the 3rd period to tie it up as well. Like I said, I would go nuclear to hopefully get off to a good start and maybe get up a few, then go back and roll lines. As soon as the Kings can't sit back and actually have to play forward hockey, they get exposed badly.
