Edmonton Oilers: A Season in Review
A Disappointing End to a Promising Season
The Edmonton Oilers have been eliminated from the playoffs after a last-minute 3-2 loss in Vancouver in Game 5. The Oilers were pushed to the brink of elimination after a strong 4-1 win over the LA Kings in a possible first-round preview. However, the Oilers were unable to close out the series in Game 5, as the Canucks scored two goals in the final minutes to win the game and the series.
A Season of Ups and Downs
The Oilers' season was a tale of two halves. The team started the season strong, winning 10 of their first 12 games. However, the Oilers struggled down the stretch, winning just 13 of their final 30 games. The Oilers also struggled on the road, going just 10-17-4 away from home. The Oilers' power play was also a major disappointment, finishing 29th in the NHL.
What's Next for the Oilers?
The Oilers have a lot of work to do in the offseason. The team needs to improve its depth, especially on defense. The Oilers also need to find a way to improve their power play. With a few key additions, the Oilers could be a contender next season.
