[https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/edmonton-oilers/latest-news/report-oilers-not-signing-maxim-beryozkin-right-now] The Hurricanes have earned themselves another opportunity to keep their season alive, now that the series is at 3-1 in favor of the Panthers. The Oilers are nowhere near being done with their series. However, with a 2-1 series lead and with the Alberta-based squad controlling every aspect of the game for the majority of the series, playing out the games seems like a formality at this point. No matter which way the Hurricanes-Panthers series swings, the Oilers will get a rematch. If it’s the Panthers, they will play them for the second straight year for all of the marbles.

The Hurricanes and Oilers met in the 2006 Finals, with the Oilers coming up short and the Hurricanes taking Lord Stanley’s Cup home. It would be a series with a longer history, but perhaps less intensity. Either way, Oilers fans will need to wait at least one more game of the Eastern Conference Final to play out to see a clearer picture of the final round.
