Preview: Wild looking to gear up for playoffs against Oilers

While playoff positions and matchups aren't locked in statistically, it's certainly starting to feel that way.

AS per MoneyPuck.com, the visiting Edmonton Oilers have a 98.3% of making the playoffs; their recent stretch of play of late has helped buoy that number. 7-2-1 in their last ten games, they're picking up steam at precisely the right time. To no ones surprise, it's their offense — lead by dynamos Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid — pushing the team forward. Dating back to mid-March, they sport the league's best offense averaging 4.33 goals per game and have the ability to blow their opponent out of the water on any given night.
