An 8 game winning streak not long ago. Now currently on a 7 game streak. Went from being almost dead last in the NHL to being in the second wild card, 4 pts behind the first wild card with 4 games in hand. 5 pts out of 3rd, 10 pts out of second with 4 games in hand. They are tied for 12th in goals against. PK is over 80%.
Pretty hard to argue against the coaching change especially with the improvements on the defensive side. The improvement of the entire defense core is very noticeable.
Looking at the next 9 games, winning all 9 is an actual possibility based on who they play. It's probably not realistic they win all 9 but I think 7-2 is very realistic.

The other strategy the Oilers struggle with is losing in OT or the SO. Lots of other teams with loser points making the standings closer. We have the same number of wins as the Kings (in the same number of games) and only 3 less than Vegas (in 4 less games).
