3 Things To Watch For During Edmonton Oilers Last 10 Games
The Edmonton Oilers have pretty much locked up their playoff spot as one of the top 3 teams in the Pacific Division. I believe the only question right now is which spot they will finish in. They could finish anywhere from third in the Pacific all the way to the top of the entire Western Conference.
The Oilers have only 10 games left in the regular season. That is not very many games when you compare it to a whole 82-game season. It is amazing that there is still so much potential for where they can finish in the standings.

| Edmonton Oilers | 72 | 41 | 23 | 8 | 90 | .625 |
| Seattle Kraken | 71 | 39 | 24 | 8 | 86 | .606 |

With only 10 or 11 games left in the season for these 4 teams, there are a lot of changes that could happen. It’s nice to see this much parody in the league. The fact that the Edmonton Oilers could finish first in the Pacific if they stay hot or they could finish 4th if they struggle.
If I was able to place a bet on it I would say they are more likely to finish first. The Edmonton Oilers are going to be healthy and have a better team post-deadline and the team chemistry appears to be at a season-high right now.
Not to mention Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins are looking to hit landmark numbers. McDavid is looking for 70 goals, Draisaitl 50 goals and Nuge 100 points. The rest of the team is going to try and help these three get these numbers.
They are already the top-scoring team in the NHL and I would expect to see their goals/per game go even higher down the stretch in order to get these accomplishments completed. I just hope they don’t focus on it too much and start over-pass.
