Eight games ago, our last Oil Check was a positive one, and it appeared that the Edmonton Oilers were on their way to yet another midseason turnaround and heat up for the stretch run.

The Oilers came out victorious against the Capitals 6-5 in overtime thanks to Connor McDavid's game-winning goal.

The prediction is that McDavid will win his sixth championship this season at 29. Gretzky won just a single scoring crown after he turned 30; McDavid may not be able to pass The Great One, but could make it interesting in the 2030s. He’ll win the Art Ross this year.

After the Edmonton Oilers lost 7–3 to the Minnesota Wild last Saturday night, Tristan Jarry, the losing goalie, had some things to say about the Oilers defensive performance.

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Matias Maccelli scored twice and the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-2 on Tuesday night. Matthew Knies added a goal and an assist for Toronto (27-21-9). John Tavares scored his 20th of the season and Bobby McMann added an empty-netter.

Calgary Flames forward Ryan Lomberg had a hilarious postgame comment on the Edmonton Oilers goalie they faced.

The Toronto Maple Leafs may be falling out of playoff contention, but they're still finding ways to chirp the Edmonton Oilers.
