To the surprise of many, the Edmonton Oilers came out victorious in their last game against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Although a close 4-3 overtime win, it was a big morale boost for the team to grind out a win against one of the top teams in the league. It helped improve the Oilers’ record to 9-7-4 as they sit just outside of the Western Conference wildcard spot.
The Oilers hope to keep the momentum rolling as they take on the Buffalo Sabres on Monday night. It is their fourth stop along their season high seven game road trip and the team seems to be slowly putting the pieces together after a rocky start.
