The Oilers final stretch and a thought on 50 goals
As we head into the final week of the Edmonton Oilers’ season, there is still a high level of variance when it comes to where this team could finish in the Pacific Division standings.
The simplest way to outline the scenario for the Oilers is this:
If they win all three of their final games, or go 2-0-1, then they will clinch the top spot in the Pacific Division. There would be no way for either Vegas or Anaheim to catch them.If they go 2-1-0, then the Ducks or Golden Knights would have to go undefeated in their final three games in order to pass them.If the Oilers can simply win two of their final three games, then they should be sitting pretty comfortably in the top spot in the division.That’s not a bad spot to be in, considering just six weeks ago their playoff chances were hovering right around 60 per cent.
The team has found another gear, even despite the fact that they’ve been without some key pieces, like Leon Draisaitl and Zach Hyman, for a large chunk of these games.
A big reason why is that they’ve had players all throughout their lineup making contributions. Curtis Lazar, Adam Henrique, Max Jones, and Colton Dach have all scored important goals at some point over the last few weeks and part of the reason why is that Knoblauch has been forced to give them some extra opportunities.
When the Oilers get some players back in the lineup, although it’s never a guarantee that the roster will be fully........
