The lengthy winning streak may have ended, but the Edmonton Oilers are maintaining a smaller streak as they return to their home turf. After a series of away games, during which they posted a 3-3 record, the Oilers are now gearing up for a series of five home games within an eight-day span to close out February.

This home advantage could be just what the team needs to regain their momentum after their remarkable 16-game winning streak leading up to the NHL all-star break. Although that streak was halted earlier this month, their dominance on home ice remains intact, with eight consecutive wins.

Their recent victories on the road against the Dallas Stars and the Arizona Coyotes, including an overtime win and a decisive victory, have helped kickstart a modest winning streak as they prepare to face off against the Boston Bruins.

Critics who attributed the Oilers’ success during their 16-game streak to weak opponents were proven wrong by their challenging matchups against formidable teams like the Stars. Facing off against the Bruins will provide another opportunity for the Oilers to demonstrate their strength against top-tier competition.
