Edmonton Oilers Clinch Spot In 2023 NHL Playoffs

The Edmonton Oilers have made some solid moves over the past few months, and after reaching the Western Conference Finals a season ago, only to be swept by the Colorado Avalanche, they feel that this year is the year they could finally take the next step.

Now, the team have officially clinched a playoff spot in the 2023 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, and with so much offensive firepower, they're always a massive threat to go on a deep run, especially if they can get good goaltending out of Stuart Skinner. 

ARE YOU READY, EDMONTON?! 🟠🔵

If they are to make a run, their much improved defence will need to be at the top of their game, and if they can do that, there's very few teams in the West that can match them.
