They lost. However, in the last two periods they showed that they are a force to be contended with.
They're down in the standings, but my crystal ball sees them rising from the ashes. They've had a lot of "slow learners" who the coaches are finally getting through to. This season is not over yet for the Oilers.

I think it had more to do with the Leafs taking their foot off the gas pedal in the 2nd and parts of the 3rd period. That and Freddy Toskala let in a couple of softies from the perimeter.
You have to play .661 hockey for the rest of the season if you want to make the playoffs, that’s quite a leap from your current .423 winning percentage.
At least you have Rasmus Dahlin waiting for you at the end of the season.
