No. 10: Edmonton Oilers

Previous: 8th

Season record: 29-18-8 (66 points)

Ending a three-game slide with a big 1-0 shootout victory in Montreal, the Oilers are 6-3-1 in their last 10 games and just three points out of first place in the rough-and-tumble Pacific Division. Goalie Cam Talbot is having a star-making season with a statline close to the best in the West. The Oilers have five days to rest before hosting the Blackhawks on Saturday night.
