A Battle From the Start

Drama in the Third

In the end, the game went to overtime, and the drama continued. Vegas, in a moment of brilliance, managed to score the winning goal, leaving Oilers fans with a sinking feeling in their stomachs.

Oilers Need to Find Consistency

While the Oilers looked good with McDavid back, they still need to find a way to put together a full 60 minutes of consistent hockey.

The Oilers have a long season ahead of them, and they need to regroup quickly.

**With McDavid back in the lineup, the Oilers are a force to be reckoned with. **They have the talent to compete with anyone in the league, but they need to find a way to be more consistent if they want to make a serious run for the Stanley Cup.
