The Edmonton Oilers have just lost the last 3 of their last four games in the most critical part of the season. They are essentially eliminating themselves from any hope of playoff contention they previously had,
Which puts the team in a tight spot.
On one side, they have a decently “easy” end to the schedule that could potentially allow the team to string together a right amount of wins and end the season on a positive note that they can build off of for next year.
On the other side, they are only two points ahead of the Anaheim Ducks and the New York Rangers, who both have 69 points.
