Connor McDavid's quest for 1,000 career points has dominated the conversation around Rogers Place lately.

The Edmonton Oilers are barely out of the shadow of another slow start to the season that has fallen well short of expectations.

The Oilers lost their first three games and had trouble gaining any real traction in the standings, hovering around500 one month into the season .

But just like last year , the Oilers appear to be turning a corner.

“I think we have teams right now that have our number and we just can’t find a way, and it can go on for months or even years . It’s funny how hockey works that way, sometimes you have teams you just feel better against and do better against. And some teams, you just can't seem to find a break.”.
