It's March 8th for the NHL. Let's get into it. The Edmonton Oilers, back-to-back Western Conference Champions, are clean to third place in the Pacific Division with 68 points and just. 19 games left in the regular season. Their playoff spot is shaky as teams like San Jose, Seattle and Los Angeles lurk close behind. The team has struggled all season, unable to string together more than three straight wins. They've allowed four or more goals in four of their last five games, totaling 31 such outings, the second worst among Western Conference. Playoff teams behind only Anaheim. A tough road trip starts Sunday against Vegas, Colorado and Dallas, all ahead of them in the standings. Edmonton hasn't beaten a Pacific Division playoff team since their 7-4 win over Anaheim on January 26th. Oilers' general manager is pointing fingers at the entire defense ahead of Friday's trade deadline, but no new goal tinder is expected, despite averaging, four goals against post-Olympics. Unlike last two seasons when they rallied late to contend, this group hasn't turned it

around yet, and with time running out, the pressure is mounting. To prove they can still compete, D&N is sponsored by our partner, check out the episode description. A pillow that sounds as good as it feels, built for listening in bed, S-O-L-I-SOLYPILLOW.COM
