I heard today they only play one team currently above them in the standings, the Blues. The rest are lower to middle class teams that a playoff contender should be beating.
If they struggle against the lower teams, as they did last game, and lose a handful we will all look back at this time and see where the season went wrong.
If they can come out of it with a large point percentage, the playoffs will all but be guaranteed, given the early season cushion they built. The good news is they have not had a real losing streak this year.
Hopefully the come out tonight with some proper effort and put the boots to the Kings.

They really really need to win this one. Ugh, if we manage to lose 2 in a row right now, we will have the exact same record that we had last year at game 32

Yikes, Dec was ugly after the mid-point last year.

This point was where the Hitchcock bump seemed to come to an end, eh? They had a few wins after he was hired...annnnnnd then just fell off a cliff. Any word on if any of our injured guys are back?
I'm curious why the Oilers recalled Cave rather than Benson, Yamamoto, or even Malone. Cave has 5 points in 16 AHL games this year, while Benson has 17 in 21. With two of our top six out, do we really need another "safe" borderline fourth liner? Worth noting, while the team may see Cave as more defensively responsible, he's also -11 in the 16 games on the farm and -5 in 38 Oilers games over this year and last.
Benson isn't lighting the world on fire, but the team needs someone with a pulse offensively, and I've never seen that from Cave (3-1-4 in 38 Oilers games, 4-5-9 in 61 NHL games).
