If the Oilers want more PP's, it's pretty simple. They have to play the "game" when it comes to the refs. As Debrusk put it when Doughty flopped and drew a call. They have to be "cagey". Diving is a swear word to the NHL but "cagey" is acceptable. The Oilers best players like McD and Leon fight through stuff too much and try to still make a play because sometimes they can.
When a guy hooks McD or Leon, they need to do what the Kings do, grab on to the stick and make it look worse than it is, fall down or spin around a bit. Make that hook or hold look way worse than it is.

I think the best we can hope for in this series is ~2 powerplays per game for both teams. That would be if we did nothing dumb like we did in the first 2 games. Refs don't want to give us easy goals with PP opportunities.
We're breaking typical game management with our PP being so good. The refs don't want to call anything so they can avoid giving us too many opportunities. But if we take dumb penalties, we can also not expect to get game management calls in our favor because the refs are scared of how likely it will turn into a goal.

I 100% believe how good the Oilers PP is, is playing into the refs mind. The refs know if they give the Oilers a PP, it's almost an automatic they will score on it. So it takes a lot to get a call.
