Bad Teams Find a Way to Lose: Red Wings 3, Oilers 2

[NHL.com] [Edmonton Journal]

The Oilers are now 14-15-3 on the season. It's sad and depressing. I don't think they'll be over .500 again this year. The wheels have fallen off and this team needs a change. 

Basically, for the Oilers to make the playoffs, they need to do the same.  Assuming 95 points as the playoff cutoff (and right now it looks more like 97 points to get in for the Oilers)  and assuming the Oilers continue to pick up overtime losses at relatively the same rate, the team needs to go 30-15-4 to get in.  Is it possible?  Yes.  Is it likely?  Hardly.
