After being knocked out by the eventual Stanley Cup champions Colorado Avalanche in the Western Conference Finals in the 2021-22 National Hockey League (NHL) season, the Oilers will be setting their sights on the next step in 2023. Captain Connor McDavid recorded a career-best of 123 points last season and is a key component to the team’s success. New goaltender acquisition Jack Campbell joins the Oilers from the Toronto Maple Leafs to add more stability between the pipes.

There are 4 rounds of best-of-7 series: first round with 16 teams in 8 x best-of-7 series; second round with 8 teams in 4 x best-of-7 series; Conference Finals with 4 teams in 2 x best-of-7 series; and the Stanley Cup Finals with 2 teams in 1 x best-of-7 series to determine who lifts the Stanley Cup.

How to Get Cheap Tickets
Oilers’ game tickets vary depending on several factors such as their opponent, the day of the week (weekends are usually more expensive), and the stage of the league. Prices for the same game can also change over time and between sellers. In some cases, there are last-minute bargains to be found for less in-demand games, however, by waiting you risk prices going up or tickets selling out. Koobit compares prices from primary and secondary sellers to help you find the right tickets for you at the best price.
Where to Buy Tickets
Tickets can be bought at the arena box office or online. Online ticket sales are typically more convenient because they allow you to examine many ticket options, compare costs, and ensure that you secure the perfect seat before arriving at the arena.
