NHL Power Rankings: Chicago Blackhawks Climb Amid Trade Deadline
By Sean Fitzgerald

13. Edmonton Oilers
Previous: No. 8
Record: 34-22-8 (76 points)
In just his second season in the NHL, Connor McDavid currently leads the league in points with 72. There is no doubt Edmonton is a playoff team this year, the question will be how far can it go. Many have picked the Oilers to get knocked off by a more experienced Pacific Division team, only to return next year for revenge. But going 6-4-0 in their last 10 games, Edmonton needs to find another gear so it can go into the playoffs hot.
