Unfortunately for them, in games 1-44 they only earned enough points to put them on pace for a 73 point season. The peak you see at game #51 may be the metaphorical peak of the Oilers' season.

The worse news for them, is with a loss in game #52, they dropped below the bottom of the graph.

I believe it was the poet, Eminem, who described the blue snake's fall best:
He's chokin', how, everybody's jokin' now
The clocks run out, times up, over, blaow!
Snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity

The red snake is 14 points above the blue snake, but the blue snake has two games in hand. The red snake is 0.780 points above the black line, while the blue snake is 10.878 points below it.

that little blue nub peeking out from the aether is hilarious.
