Edmonton Oilers climb to first place in TSN's power ranking

Edmonton Oilers fans should be full of Christmas cheer as their team is on a roll and sit in first place in our Power Rankings.

The Oilers have won eight of 10 games in December and enter the Christmas break on a three-game winning streak. Edmonton ranks top 10 in goals for and against, plus top five in expected goals for and against and high-danger chances for and against.

Zach Hyman continues to be the gift that keeps on giving, scoring 10 goals in his past nine games. The Oilers are a juggernaut and we expect them to contend for top spot in the Western Conference in the second half of the season.

The Edmonton Oilers are also coming off respectable performance against the Ottawa Senators, who were riding a 6 game win streak before coming into Rogers Place.

Additionally, these power rankings are definitely associated with the Oilers success following their "murderers row" gauntlet.

The Edmonton Oilers emerged victorious against teams like the Tampa Bay Lightning, Minnesota Wild, Las Vegas Golden Knights, and the Boston Bruins.

The Edmonton Oilers are now off, enjoying a well deserved holiday with their families.

The Edmonton Oilers are back in action on Saturday, December 28th against the Los Angeles Kings -- who have also been red hot to start the 2024-25 NHL season.
