Oilers Grab 3-1 Stranglehold | Daily Faceoff LIVE

Season 3, Ep. 160
•

Welcome to Daily Faceoff Live hosted by Tyler Yaremchuk and Frank Seravalli!


Today on the show we start with the Western Conference Final as the Edmonton Oilers take a 3-1 lead over the Dallas Stars. Is this series over or are we due for a Dallas push?


It's not all positive in Edmonton though as Zach Hyman has undergone surgery and will likely miss the remainder of the 2025 NHL Playoffs.


Then we move to the East as Game 5 kicks off tonight with the Carolina Hurricanes looking to extend their playoffs at home.


To continue our offseason talk, today we look into the Columbus Blue Jackets. What are they looking to add this summer with all their extra cash and will Merzlikins return?


Then Steven Ellis joins for the Next Wave to discuss his fresh "Top 80" list for the 2025 NHL Draft.


Steven Ellis' Top 80 Draft Rankings
