Another day, another win for the Edmonton Oilers, who are now unbeaten in 15 straight games after beating the Chicago Blackhawks 3-0 at home on Thursday.
After a lopsided start to the season, the Oilers bounced back with an impressive record of wins, and now haven't lost a game since Dec. 19, when they fell to the New York Islanders 3-1.
With 15 straight wins, the Oilers are now tied for third with the longest winning streak by a team in the NHL.
Should the Oilers continue with their winning run for three more games, they will etch their name in the history books for a record winning streak by a team in the league. The 1992-93 Pittsburgh Penguins currently hold the record for the longest streak with 17 wins.
