The Oilers have a good record in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference with 32 wins and 21 losses with a recent loss against the Boston Bruins 2-3 (as of Feb. 28).

The Pacific Division is tighter than ever with the Vegas Golden Knights and Los Angeles Kings disputing the first two spots in the standings.

The regular season ends for the Oilers on April 13 in what will be a home game against the San Jose Sharks that means they still have plenty of time to make the playoffs.
