There's not an exact source that can quantify that stat in one shot. But if you google and work backwards through Hockey Viz. You can see that that Oilers are tied for 3rd this year at playing tired vs rested and are first or 2nd every other year. Culminating in 2018/19 when they played 18 games against tired opponents.
Nice story but that’s all it is.
Anaheim leads
Chicago second
And Vancouver islanders NJ all with more than the Oilers.

But keep up the narrative
Are the Oilers not tied for the 3rd best differential this year at +3 tired vs rested? And then working back every year until 2015 they're in the same boat. Uncanny for a 32 team league.
The ‘analytics group’ is not claiming that NHL teams should go dumpster-diving in the ECHL to find all their goalies. That would be you.

Speaking of sample size, how many games are sufficient? Let's say...
239 games with Vancouver with -10.1 GSAE?
165 games with Calgary with -1.6 GSAE?
But, no...keep your eye on the shiny object while I hypnotize you into paying a 1st round pick and Dawson Mercer for the latest 39 games at the low price of $12 million! You'll be thrilled!

I don’t know, but that’s not what you said earlier. You said top 3 in playing tired teams being rested.
