The team has been a regular playoff contender and has established itself again, as a success reaching the 2nd round in the playoffs the past two years, if there is any doubt about that, since they have been regular playoff contenders for the last few seasons.
There will be 18 games this season in which Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and the rest of the Oilers will get the national exposure they deserve.
It is unclear who will cover what games, but it is clear that this is a very high number, especially given that they will have 1 more game than the Colorado Avalanche and the Golden Knights at 15 games, the two teams that won the Stanley Cup during the previous two seasons.
