Things seem to not be going the right way for the Oilers over the last few weeks as they have lost six of their last seven games, keeping them at an arm's distance from the league leaders Vegas Golden Knights. Despite them being certain to make it through to the playoffs at the end of the regular season, the third-placed LA Kings seem to be closing the gap very quickly.
