The Oilers are on a trajectory to win the Pacific Division and finish as the No. 1 team in the Western Conference
as a serious contender to win the Stanley Cup. They had the best record in the NHL in March, boast the league’s top two offensive players and have much-improved goaltending.
It is the second straight year he has scored 50 or more and the third time in his career. Over the last five seasons he has more goals than any other player. In that span Auston Matthews is second with 222 and Connor McDavid is third with 214. This is the fourth consecutive year the Oilers have reached the postseason and a year ago they lost to the Stanley-Cup champion Avalanche in the Western Conference finals.
Only a month ago the two teams that participated in a huge offseason trade – Calgary and Florida – looked like they had little hope of going anywhere. The Panthers have at least temporarily passed Pittsburgh in the race for the sec ond wildcard. A lot of things seem to have come together at the right time for the Oilers. Nugent-Hopkins and Zach Hyman are providing secondary scoring, Evander Kane has returned to form after a serious injury, Darnell Nurse registered his 42nd point on Saturday and Mattias Ekholm has made the defence much more formidable.
