they have allowed two or fewer in eight straight games as part of their winning run and are controlling five-on-five play at a high level at both ends of the ice.

Special teams are also going to have to nip the recent downturn in the bud against an Oilers team that hasn't relied on its power play to win games lately but still boasts a combined special teams efficiency of 106.2 (25.2% on the PP, 81% on the PK).
