EDMONTON A day after a triple-overtime loss ended their season in an unexpected fashion, the Edmonton Oilers were trying to move on. A regular season of promising steps forward failed to translate into playoff success for the Oilers, who were swept in the first round of the playoffs by the Winnipeg Jets. As sweeps go, this was a hard-fought one. Three of the games went to overtime, while the Jets won the series opener 4-1 with a pair of empty-net goals inflating the scoreline. Still, when Kyle Connor s goal in triple overtime Monday gave the Jets the decisive 4-3 win in Game 4, it marked another year of the Oilers failing to make any noise in the post-season despite having the superstar combo of Connor McDavid and another superstar in Leon Draisaitl.
