True enough.

But fairly predictable, really. When the Oilers play 3-on-3, they have McDavid and Draisaitl out on the ice every possible second. Of course they're going to do better than a team whose best offensive weapon is Huberdeau.

That said, even given the differences in personnel, the Oilers have probably been unreasonably lucky in OT, and the Flames unreasonably unlucky.
