Realistically outside of game one, the Ducks have been slowly pulling away from the Oilers and that's what depth and experience can do for a team.

In game one the Oilers were the better team and won, in game two the Ducks were the better team but Talbot stole it, in game three the Ducks were a better team, and in game four the Oilers were better in period one, set back in period two and the Ducks defensively were really excellent in period three..

Its going to be very tough for the Oilers to gain momentum back, frankly their lack of depth is really starting to show and McDavid hasn't been lights out and Draisaitl hasn't been lights out good either. The rest of their lineup just looks like they're hanging on by a finger tip.

The scary thing for the Oilers has to be that the Ducks while they've been the better team haven't been at their best yet, but with Momentum and the energy from their home crowd we could see that.

As for Talbot while he has been good, he's allowed 14 goals in 4 games while still maintaining a .916 svpct which really points to his defense being pretty underwhelming.
