I realize it's more difficult on the road but I think you still have to find a way to put out the 4th line when the opportunity is presented just to give your horses a break. They just had nothing in OT as it was nearly all spent in their end and anytime they got puck possession would break out to center ice while trying to change lines with a single forward or two bringing the puck into the offensive zone only to get outnumbered and lose possession and rinse/repeat getting cratered in their own end. Anyone watching that OT could see it was just a matter of when the Oilers score, not if.
