The Oilers will begin their quest for the Stanley Cup in Edmonton.
With a 3-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday, the Oilers assured themselves at worst a second-place finish in the Pacific Division. They can still win the division, provided they beat Vancouver again Sunday and the Anaheim Ducks lose in regulation to the Los Angeles Kings.
The Oilers and Ducks head into Game 82 with 42 regulation and/or overtime wins apiece, which account for the first tiebreaker. Edmonton has the head-to-head advantage.
The San Jose Sharks won their final game of the season Saturday, 3-1 over the Calgary Flames, and last year's Stanley Cup finalists will head into the postseason in third place in the Pacific. They'll be watching some hockey on TV on Sunday.
Calgary's locked into the Western Conference's first wild-card spot, and they await the winner of the Pacific. They've also got a date with a TV on Sunday night.
Battle of Alberta in the playoffs, anybody?
