The Oilers bring their franchise-record win streak into a matchup with the Golden Knights tonight as they aim to match the NHL’s all-time record of 17 straight wins. That’s Hockey examines why tonight feels like a statement game for Edmonton and the matchup between the pipes, featuring two of the best Canadian netminders in the league.

Yeah sure, Vegas are ahead of the Oilers by 5 pts, but the Oilers also have 5 games in hand over them. Even if Edmonton lose tonight it doesn't at all diminish their accomplishment this season and they can still easily finish ahead of Vegas in the standings at the end of the year which is more important than breaking a record.
Hahaha ahh the age old they havent played quality teams. Tell me then, why arent there more 10, 15, 20 game winning streaks? Ohh right cuz winning, against anyone, isnt easy.
The Oilers are gonna skate all over vagas tonight. Skinner is gonna shut the door.
The Oilers are the most exciting team in the NHL.
Edmonton started all those teams on their downward trajectories. I don't have an expectations aside from a great game.
Yeh the Oilers have had a pretty easy run. This is the test.
this is not a healthy vegas knights. oilers are healthy. big difference.
TSN acting like winning 16 straight is easy.
