After their big win today and the 6-2-1 run, the Oilers are now #10 in the West; one point out of the playoffs with a game in hand on SJ in the last wildcard, and VGK in the #3 PacDiv slot. In that time they have passed Chicago and Vancouver, but then have also been passed by Vegas.
Good job, Oilers.

Goes to show just how hard it starts to get if a team wants to make up ground and they have a bunch of teams to leap frog over.
