From 2005-06 through 2011-12, just three of 32 teams who were four points out of a playoff position on November 1 recovered to make it.

Well, this was the Oilers' final game of October, and they're currently 8 points back of the final wildcard playoff spot in the West. They could be 9 or 10 back by the time the jack-o-lanterns are blown out.
