SERIES NOTES:

After Game 4: The Anaheim Ducks hosted and bested the Edmonton Oilers 4-goals-3(OT) to take a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series 1624 lead of 3-games-1. When leading a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series 3-games-1, the Anaheim Ducks have a series record of 5-0 and a Game 5 record of 4-1. When trailing a best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series 3-games-1, the Edmonton Oilers have a series record of 2-7 (with an active four-series losing streak) and a Game 5 record of 5-4. The series 1624 Game 4 loss by the Edmonton Oilers breaks a best-of-7 NHL playoff Game 4 winning streak of ten consecutive Game 4s (irrespective of Game 1-3 outcomes) by the Oilers. The Anaheim Ducks trailed the visiting Edmonton Oilers by two goals as late as 7:35 into the second period into series 1624 Game 4, but prevailed: In the history of best-of-7 NHL playoff games from 1939 through 2025, inclusive, home teams down two goals as late as 7:35 into the second period had a game record of only 53-349 (.132) - the Anaheim Ducks thus achieve a grade-B (.100 - .199) in-game comeback against visiting Edmonton.

After Game 2: The Anaheim Ducks visited and defeated the Edmonton Oilers 6-goals-4 to knot best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL playoff series 1624 at 1-game-all.

Of the four Edmonton best-of-7 NHL playoff series losses in the wake of a 1-game-nil lead, one was to the Anaheim Ducks (in series 1331, in the 2017 NHL Quarterfinals; one of only two such victories by the Anaheim Ducks). Beginning with series 1331, the Anaheim Ducks with their series 1624 loss now have a four-Game 1 losing streak in best-of-7 NHL playoff series.

Pre-series assessment: In the 2025-26 NHL regular season, the Edmonton Oilers finished one point ahead of the Anaheim Ducks.
