I can EASILY see the Oilers getting complacent after going up a couple of games. They have no experience having things go according to plan for them and meeting their high expectations.
With the players on that team they'd absolutely get full of themselves and expect that its in the bag and forget to work to earn that fourth game.
Too much has gone right lately tbh. It's way too much of a contrast from what that team is at its core. And as bingo pointed out, the goaltending is due for a regression to the mean. Their losing roots will rear its ugly head at some point.
