An Edmonton hobby chalk artist has been tapped by the city to drum up more Oilers excitement.

As if a 4-0 Edmonton Oilers lead in Game 1 of their playoff series with the Los Angeles Kings wasn't good enough, what was announced at Rogers Place during the next TV timeout nearly blew the roof off the downtown arena.

Mark Stone of the Vegas Golden Knights went from the 26-game injured reserve list to the Game 1 Dallas scoresheet in 83 seconds, the Boston fan with the big sign "Matthews STILL stuck on 69!" was nowhere to be seen after last night's Leafs-Bruins' game, and the New York Islanders played an impressive 24 minutes in Raleigh before getting whipped in the other 36 minutes by the Comeback 'Canes.

After taking a 1-0 lead in their first-round series against the Nashville Predators, the Vancouver Canucks are looking for ways to improve — including getting more out of centre Elias Pettersson.

The Edmonton Downtown Business Association estimates around 40,000 fans are gathering in the city's core each Oilers game night.
