The Edmonton Oilers have been on a remarkable winning streak, thanks in part to a coaching change earlier in the season. General manager Ken Holland made the decision to fire Jay Woodcroft after a slow start to the season, with only three wins in 13 games. In his place, Kris Knoblauch was brought in as head coach, and Hall of Famer Paul Coffey joined as an assistant.
Since the coaching change, the Oilers have found their stride, winning 19 out of their last 25 games, including a franchise-record tying nine-game winning streak. This run of success has brought the team closer to meeting the high expectations set for a team led by superstar Connor McDavid.
