Last Oilers Game

In a Pacific Division battle for first place the Oilers weren’t able to get the job completely done as @Mikko Koskinen did everything he could to give the Oilers a chance to win it, but ultimately it was the Golden Knights who prevailed in overtime.

Fun Oilers Facts…

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has points in 14 of his last 16 games (8G, 16A, 24PTS), including two three-point efforts in his last five games (Feb.29 vs. WPG – 1G, 2A / Mar. 2 @ NSH – 3A).
The Oilers have a 26-1-2 record (0.929), the 8th best record in the NHL when leading the game after two periods.
@Alex Chiasson scored for the second straight game last game on Mar. 9 vs. VGK and now has three goals in his last four games.

What OilersNation Is Saying…

Watching the Edmonton Oilers pick up points lately has been like driving around with the “change oil” light on in your car. You can look the other way and keep going because the damn thing is still running, but sooner or later you have to know the engine is going to seize up and leave you on the side of the road. That’s not how to get where you want to go.

Disconnect
