Darnell Nurse skated in game 697 of his career game this past week .

Nurse is now # 12 all-time in Oilers history.

Jeff Skinner is second on the team in points per minute 5v5 and his defence has notably improved.

Jeff Jackson ’s contract decisions back in the Summer came back to haunt the franchise at this trade deadline.

Jake Walman is a legit top four , two -way D-man on a value contract.

Trent Frederic brings the requisite grit, physicality and Moxy that this lineup has appeared too often to lack.

The Edmonton Oilers have had a rough stretch, but most (if not all) NHL teams experience those over the course of a season .
