After their loss to their Western Canada rival Vancouver Canucks, the Edmonton Oilers record dropped to 4-4-2 across their first 10 games. Averaged out to a full season that record is roughly 33-33-16, which would give them 82 points over a full 82 game schedule.
According to NHL.com, this record would not get the Oilers into the playoffs historically and would in fact place them in the bottom 10 in the leaguewide standings. This is not only a far cry from where they were expected to end the season but is a great way to illustrate just how disappointing this start has been for the club.
