The Oilers started the season 5-12-1, everyone was writing their obituary and saying McDavid/Draisaitl we're going to want to be traded and generally forecasting impending doom. Since then they've gone 18-3, have won 10 straight and look like the best team in the league. Funny how quickly things can change in hockey.

Eleven straight in comeback fashion against the Leafs. Beautiful.

14 straight for the Oilers. They've outscored the opposition 29-6 in the 3rd period and overtime in that span.

Thoroughly outplayed by the CBJ for 40 minutes and then flipped the switch and kicked their asses. Not that EDM is the first team to do that this season. :lol:

Five players from Canada's 2018 world junior team have taken a leave of absence from their current clubs in recent days amid a report that five members of that team have been asked to surrender to police to face sexual assault charges.

Michael McLeod and Cal Foote of the New Jersey Devils, Carter Hart of the Philadelphia Flyers, Dillon Dube of the Calgary Flames and former NHL player Alex Formenton, who is now playing in Europe, all have been granted indefinite leave, with the absences announced in the past four days.

The Flyers and Swiss club HC Ambri-Piotta cited personal reasons for Hart's and Formenton's leaves; the Swiss club also said Formenton has been allowed to return to Canada. The Flames cited Dube's mental health, and the Devils did not give a reason Wednesday in announcing McLeod and Foote were on leave.

This link has a summary of events. What I think has kind of gotten lost in this specific story is that there were other payments made for sexual misconduct. The total payout from Hockey Canada was $6.7 million USD for 21 different complaints.
