Led by Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, the team has displayed exceptional performance, with goaltender Stuart Skinner making significant contributions. The Oilers' success has been attributed to their strong special teams and resilience, with a remarkable goal differential and outstanding power play and penalty kill percentages. The team's head coach, Chris Knoblauch, has been credited with their remarkable turnaround.

Oilers win: How the power of words, in jest or with brevity, defined their 12th straight https://t.co/zpDvvm0LYq
#Canucks are league-best 30-11-4 (64 pts) They're 6-0-1 in their last 7 They are 14-2-3 in their last 19 games and now 15-4-1 on home ice

The Oilers have outscored their opposition 24-6 in the 3rd period and OT during this 12-game winning streak, matching the โ68 Canadiens for longest ever for a team based in Canada. Edmonton hasnโt allowed more than three shots in the last 10:00 of any of its past four wins.
The @EdmontonOilers make it 12 straight wins! Goaltending and Special teams won it. Skinner 25 saves, 16-2-0 last 18 starts. PP 2/5, PK 5/5 Draisaitl 1-3-4. 13-1 on faceoffs! Foegele 2 goals. McDavid, 1 assist, 12-game point streak. EDM now 20-3-0 last 23 GP.
Oilers on the other hand wowzers. Just rattled off 12 in a row. They are snapping it around. They might win the division for crying out loud.
Foegeleโs third multi-goal game of the season & Draisaitlโs four-point night powers the Oilers to their 12th consecutive victory McDavid: points in 12 straight (5G, 13A) Skinner improves to 16-2 in his last 18 starts Nurseโs 600th game & Kane records 600th point (2A). #Oilers
Another win in comeback fashion for the Oilers. They beat the Kraken 4-2 to run their winning streak to 12 games.

Joshua hooked just as he's set up by Blueger to shove puck home. #Canucks
Auston Matthews has scored at a 53 goals per 82 games pace in his career, with a .643 goals per game average. Only Mario Lemieux and Mike Bossy are ahead of that in the modern era. https://t.co/7fw9xfoqlu
JT Miller went 7-0 in face-offs including on the 1-0 goal. #Canucks as a team were 14 & 2 in that period
Hoglander draws the penalty. Miller cleans McBain out on the face-off. Hughes puts it on a tee. And Pettersson took care of things from there 1-0 #Canucks
Auston Matthews has 37 goals in this his 42nd game. The 50-in-50 mark recognized by the NHL would add another game to that (43). So he needs 13 goals in 7+ games to get the 50-in-50 designation Can he do it?
Auston Matthews is now on pace for 72 goals ๐จ ๐จ ๐จ I say he does it.
Since Edmonton's 11-game win streak (and maybe counting) began, here's their point leaders (after Foegele's 3-2 goal): 1) Connor McDavid - 17 2) Leon Draisaitl - 15 3) Zach Hyman - 13 4) Warren Foegele - 12 5) Ryan McLeod - 11 #NHLStats
Auston Matthews with a beauty of a one-timer on a nice feed from Nylander. 2nd of the game. 6 goals in last 6 games. What a magician. #LeafsForever
Auston Matthews with his second of the game. 36th of the season. 2-2.
#Canucks vs Coyotes for the first time this season. Opener of a 5-game homestand. And Pride Night at the rink ๐ Starters & scratches https://t.co/uQ2bluM1X3
Auston Matthews scores literally out of nothing. Cuts Calgary's lead to 2-1. 35th goal of the season.
Jake Middleton does it again, he goes to the net and finishes, cutting lead to 4-3 at end of second. Career high six goals for Middleton
Will the Oilers win their 12th game in a row tonight? ๐ https://t.co/NQpjCBNfnS
During the Oilers' franchise-best 11-game win streak, Connor McDavid has amassed five goals and 12 assists and has been a team-best +14, but it's more than just the stats that has fueled his squad... More from @TSNRyanRishaug: https://t.co/dCOf5IF8oz https://t.co/qkO5UBL4Be
