THE OILERS SCORE AGAIN

There's an old saying in hockey and the NHL: "If you don't score, you don't win." It's a simple concept, but one that the Oilers have struggled with for years. In fact, it's been a major factor in their lack of success.

But this season, things are different. The Oilers are scoring goals at a record pace. They're one of the highest-scoring teams in the NHL, and they're showing no signs of slowing down.

What's changed?

There are a few factors that have contributed to the Oilers' offensive outburst this season. First, they have a lot more talent up front. Connor McDavid is one of the best players in the world, and he's surrounded by a supporting cast of talented wingers like Leon Draisaitl, Zach Hyman, and Evander Kane.

Second, the Oilers have a new coach in Jay Woodcroft, who has implemented a more offensive-minded system. Woodcroft is known for his willingness to let his players take risks, and that's something that the Oilers have needed for years.

Finally, the Oilers have been getting better goaltending this season. Jack Campbell has been a major upgrade over Mike Smith, and he's given the Oilers a chance to win every night.

The Oilers' offensive explosion has been a major factor in their success this season. They're one of the most exciting teams to watch in the NHL, and they're a legitimate contender to win the Stanley Cup.

Here are a few of the Oilers' most impressive offensive performances this season:

On October 15, the Oilers scored eight goals against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
On November 19, the Oilers scored seven goals against the Calgary Flames.
On December 6, the Oilers scored six goals against the Boston Bruins.

The Oilers are on pace to score over 300 goals this season, which would be a franchise record. They're also on pace to make the playoffs for the first time since 2017.
