Five players that have been electric so far this season for the Oilers

The Edmonton Oilers have been electric so far this season with a record of 15-5-0 through their first 20 games of the season.

So many different players have contributed to that success along the way, but today let’s call out five performances that deserved to be mentioned from Edmonton Oilers players.

Edmonton is one of the top teams in the Pacific Division, as of writing this they are second in the division behind only the Calgary Flames who have played two more games and have just one more point, so all things considered they are the top team right now.

If Edmonton were to continue to play to this level they would win 60 games and still have a couple games left in the regular season, while all things considered they are probably going to lose a few more games here or there, you cannot complain about the great first 20 games of the season. So let’s jump in with the list of five players that have been electric – these players come in no particular order.

1. Mikko Koskinen

Mikko Koskinen definitely helped save this season for the Oilers. After losing Mike Smith just three games into the season, it looked like Edmonton might be in trouble needing to lean on Koskinen through the past ten plus games, but Koskinen has been great during that time putting up a .912 save percentage and giving them the best chance to win every night.

Edmonton can outscore a lot of their issues, but they can only do that if their goaltending is making the saves they need him to make, so far Koskinen has done that. I know when Smith gets back into the net the team is going to be very happy to see him, but for now, Koskinen and Stuart Skinner have held their own for the team.
