It’s December and the Edmonton Oilers are playing meaningful games. This sentence could not have been said at any point in the past two seasons. After going 5-1-1 in their past seven games – including four consecutive wins – the Oilers find themselves just three points out of a playoff spot. However, they are also last in the Pacific Division coming into tonight’s game. The Oilers are going for their first five-game winning streak since March 26 to April 3, 2013, which was also the last time they were in a playoff race late in the season.
