The nucks results are a little harder to buy into. Especially when their spring chickens are just scoring at will.
HOWEVER the Oilers specials teams have been absolutely ridiculous and are absolutely propping them up. It's an aberration to not be falling much closer to 20% on the PP this late in the year.
That's something that is bound to come back to earth, even if it's not until next season.
The lack of adversity, lack of slumps on both sides smells very off. Usually reality slams those kind of "seasons of destiny" hard in the end to remind you that it's not actually that easy in this league.

I'd consider the large amount of injuries they have dealt with adversity.
