The Edmonton Oilers Are Very Close to Making NHL History: Don't Miss it
The Edmonton Oilers are an offensive powerhouse, with Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitly, and Zach Hyman making regular contributions.
The team has maximized their forward lines this season, with recent addition Evander Kane putting another scoring touch in Jay Woodcroft's arsenal. His contribution to the team has turned into another fun fact:
Only once in NHL history have three teammates scored career goal 300 in the same season. 1981 Flyers with Bill Barber, Bobby Clarke and Rick MacLeish. So, at minimum Oilers trio of Kane, Draisaitl and McDavid will match them.
Keep in mind a trio has never done it, which would make the Oilers the first team in NHL history to do so..
In their game against the Seattle Kraken, Evander Kane put up a hat-trick, along with Leon Draisaitl tallying a goal.
This could lead to an interesting game against the Sharks, if each of them has a fantastic night like they had against the Kraken and put up multi-point games, more importantly, multi-goal.
The Oilers are on fire, as far as the league average GF(goals for) statistic is 219, while the Oilers have put up 274 in the NHL this season, 1st in the league.
This comes out to a 3.91 GF/G which is over 3 goals per game and against an opponent like the Sharks who are defensively weak, it may not be unrealistic to expect another multi-point game from the Oilers' top-lines again.
