Emily Kaplan: One big fix for the Edmonton Oilers: Have Connor McDavid play every other shift. I'm kidding. Kind of. Please tell me you saw that ridiculous no-look assist he shelled out to Patrick Maroon on Thursday night. If not, watch it now, and resume your reading accordingly.
I spent time around the Oilers on Thursday and it's easy to say they've turned a corner after a tightly structured overtime win in Chicago. But the Oilers, a Western Conference favorite, had lost four straight games before that -- in which they were outscored 19-8.
