Here’s the latest on the 2017 Oilers vs. Ducks matchup from the playoffs that year.
The 2017 Western Conference semifinal between the Edmonton Oilers and Anaheim Ducks went to seven games, with the Ducks advancing after a 2-1 Game 7 win on May 10, 2017. The Ducks’ win in Game 7 ended Edmonton’s run and moved Anaheim into the Western Conference finals.
In the decisive game, Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry, and the Ducks faced a tightly contested affair, and Anaheim pulled ahead on a goal by Rickard Rakell?—the sequence led by timely scoring and solid defense, culminating in a 2-1 victory that sealed the series. This win marked the Ducks’ first Game 7 victory over Edmonton in several attempts and sent them further in the playoffs.
Game 1 of the series went Edmonton’s way, with the Oilers winning 5-3 in a comeback-filled affair, signaling a competitive series that featured multiple lead changes and high-paced offense. The Oilers built momentum early but the Ducks surged to force a decisive seven-game matchup.
Throughout the series, Edmonton displayed prolific offense from players like Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid, including Draisaitl’s multi-point performances in several games, while Anaheim leaned on veteran leadership and timely goals from Getzlaf and Rakell.
