Not hitting the panic button yet, and the Oilers have banked a bunch of points already, which is good, but goal differential starting to come back down to earth (currently +4, projects to +11 on the season). At this point, I think it's fair to say the Oilers record is better than they've played on the season as a whole.

Worth noting, +11 is likely a playoff team - albeit not a divisional winner. If we can hold at that level we're at least going to the dance.
The flaws of this team are starting to get exposed - despite some production of late from the depth guys, there's still far too much reliance on the first line. With Nuge's production at 5v5 nearly non-existent thus far this year, we aren't even getting the second line output we did last year. Also worth noting that a bunch of the late "depth scoring" is still created by Draisaitl or McDavid (see Archibald goal, some of the Khaira goals).
The goaltending is also coming back down to earth as we feared it might. Here's hoping last night was just a blip for Koskinen and he reverts back to early season form quickly because Smith's struggled for weeks now, and so we may need to outscore our issues when he's in the net.
I've still been pleasantly surprised with the defence - while inexperienced, they've generally been alright. Again, last night is probably an exception, but if you're rating the biggest holes, I'm slotting that one down below scoring wingers, depth players, and competent goaltending.
