The Oilers were looking pretty bad in the two weeks leading up the break. But they got points against weak teams.
I still contend that outside of McDavid and Draisaitl that the Oilers are expansion team bad, they really are.
And now teams are starting to ramp it up and the Oilers don't have the horses. They'll limp into the playoffs. They've built a big enough buffer for that. But the Caps are just huge steps bigger and faster then the Oilers who outside of McDavid aren't a fast or overly physical team.
