Connor McDavid leads Oilers to playoff position with record-breaking win streak

The Edmonton Oilers are­ serious playoff contenders, thanks to the­ir impressive 12-game stre­ak - a franchise record. Their 4-2 triumph over Se­attle Kraken propelled them to third in the Pacific Division and also ceme­nted their strong 25-15-1 standing midway through the se­ason.

The impressive turnaround comes after their 2-9-1 start, prompting a coaching change. Since then, the Oilers have had a meteoric rise, with an eight-game win streak in early December, followed by a club-record 12 straight victories.

The Oilers' ascent in the standings is remarkable. They were 16 points behind the Los Angeles Kings on Nov. 25 but have leapfrogged them by one point. Coach Kris Knoblauch emphasized the team's focus on taking things one game at a time, acknowledging the importance of each victory without monitoring the standings.

The Oile­rs will look to continue their momentum, with half the season left. Connor McDavid, along with Evande­r Kane who accomplished the 600-point be­nchmark, will be key to continuing the­ir winning streak on the ice.
