McDavid’s streak and team history
Connor McDavid extended his NHL-record season-opening assist streak to 14 games this month. He set up Ryan Nugent-Hopkins for a goal during the win against the Islanders. The Oilers have a history in the league that dates back to 1979-80. Before they joined the NHL, Wayne Gretzky played 72 games for the Oilers in the WHA. Gretzky led the franchise to four Stanley Cup championships in 1984, 1985, 1987, and 1988. He set single-season records for goals with 92 in 1981-82 and points with 215 in 1985-86. The NHL has 25 teams in the United States and 7 in Canada. The league moved its headquarters to New York City in 1989 from Montreal. The Montreal Canadiens have won 25 NHL titles. You know the difficulty of these early season stretches, but the Oilers have managed their recent home stand with efficiency.
The Calgary matchup and league context
The 4-0 win on Wednesday cooled off the surging Calgary Flames. While the Edmonton Oilers continue to build their 10-2-2 record, the 4-0 win against the Calgary Flames on Wednesday highlights how they managed to snap a two-game losing skid during this October stretch. The Calgary Flames currently sit at 6-7. The Islanders have a 7-5-2 record. The Oilers’ current 10-2-2 standing shows they are performing well in the early season. The Stanley Cup remains the oldest professional sports trophy in North America. The league organizes its regular season across 32 teams, with 16 teams advancing to the Stanley Cup playoffs. The NHL was organized at the Windsor Hotel in Montreal on November 26, 1917. The regular season is typically held from October to April. The league grew during the 1967 expansion, adding the Los Angeles Kings, the Minnesota North Stars, the Philadelphia Flyers, the Pittsburgh Penguins, the California Seals, and the St. Louis Blues. The NHL also added the Vancouver Canucks and Buffalo Sables in 1970. Is the team’s October momentum enough to sustain their climb through the standings?
