While we haven't won more than 2 in a row this season, with a loss tonight, the Oilers will extend their streak of home losses to a team playing the night before to 5 in a row.

^ Still effing around with lines this late in the season. Expectations are beginning to dim.

FrustratingThat's why I'm settling in the 2 wins 1 loss pattern so long as they can do that. They looked good with those back to back shutouts, and then poof!
Those back to back shutouts were also against the two worst teams in the league - the 32nd last place Canucks and 31st place Blues.
Followed up by two home losses to teams with a winning record.

A couple more damning stats with respect to our beloved underachievers:
(1) as noted by @TAS above, the loss against Pittsburgh was the fifth consecutive home loss against teams that played the night before. Tonight could be the the sixth as Washington played in Calgary last night.
(2) Spector reported that the three goals against in 37 seconds by Pittsburgh set a new FRANCHISE record. Not sure what the previous mark was.
These are the kind of new lows set by lousy, bottom dwelling teams, not teams that were considered by many (at various points during the season) of being a Stanley Cup contender. At this point, I really have no idea who or what this team is.
One last note: while we have yet to win 3 games in a row this season, we have lost 3 games in a row 3 times so far. We have lost the last 2 games. Will tonight be the 4th - 3 game losing streak of the season? Let's watch!!

Wow - what a game by the Oilers as they win 6-5 in OT vs the Caps with a hatty by the Bouch Bomb!

Was a fun game to watch and they got the W, but I'm not thrilled about the 5 goals on 27 shots. I have to keep telling myself, it's only the regular season.

The two kinds of hockey games that I like are the squeakers where "our" team wins as per the game last night and the blowouts where "our" team wins 6-0 -- both types get the adrenalin flowing.

Tonight's game should be a good test for the Oilers -- the Ducks are on a 7-game win streak.

And in that streak beat Colorado, Dallas and LA twice.
It's also their 3rd game in 4 nights on the road.

Back 2 back hattys for Oilers D-men. Unreal.

Anaheim had one of the worst power plays before tonight. Just saying.
