Its even more pathetic than all of that, considering that the Oilers are the worst 5-on-5 team in the entire league with only 39 ES goals in 31 games. That is less than 1.5 ES goals/per game, and it is the League worst by a wide margin. The Oilers are the only team in the NHL yet to hit the 40 goal mark, and this lags behind the next team on the list, San Jose with 45. Only five teams in the NHL have fewer than 50 ES goals.
As bad as the Oilers appear in the standings, it is even much worse in actual fact. Only Florida has won fewer games overall, and has more regulation/overtime wins than the Oilers, who are the lowest-winning team in the Western Conference.
