It truly is amazing when you look at what this year's Oilers team has accomplished.
After 80 games, this team has 99 points. Last year, they had 67 after the same number of contests. That club finished the season with 70 points after 82 games so potentially this year's club could finish as many as 33 points better.
"We've built on what we started last year. Even though the results weren't there we really changed the way we thought about things. The belief system started to come around," Mark Letestu stated.
"As we win, success has bred some confidence in our group as we've gone on here."
The Oilers of last season scored 203 goals and gave up 245. This year? It's almost a total reversal. They've scored 239 and given up 208. The club is only one behind Chicago for the second-highest goal differential in the Western Conference (+31).
