Following the win over the Sabres, the Oilers find themselves in a place which has been extremely rare for them over the years, significantly come season's end.
It was assumed Sam Gagner's NHL career was over after returning to the Edmonton Oilers last season for a swansong, but he clearly still wants to keep playing.
The Oilers prove their ability to win even without the best player in the game, as Leon Draisaital and Zach Hyman dominate with some help from Corey Perry.
Connor McDavid shouldn't have done what he did, but there's blame all around, from game officials, to the NHL Department of Player Safety and even Gary Bettman.
