At this point I just don't see them making it. Not if the teams above them keep winning.

And that's just it:
Only ONE of those five teams needs to keep winning, and the Oilers will miss. With five of them in the mix the chances are almost certain that at least one will not trail off. Two or maybe three teams will sag, but that won't be enough for the Oilers to get in.
