Oilers embarrass Canadiens and Leafs with historic new NHL record
The Edmonton Oilers just embarrassed the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs by setting this NHL record, cementing them as one of the best Canadian teams to be rostered.
When you think of historic Canadian NHL franchises, the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs are likely to be the first you think of, being part of the Original Six. However, despite their storied past, the Edmonton Oilers have just embarrassed them by setting the new record for the longest win streak by a Canadian NHL team.
With their win last night against the Calgary Flames, the Oilers set the NHL record at 13 straight wins for a Canadian NHL team.

The Oilers have effectively fought their way out of the terrible start they had this season. They are 21-3 in their last 24 games, which is an incredible stat in itself, and shows just how good this Oilers team is when they play well together.

Zach Hyman responded after the game to the Oilers setting this new NHL record, pointing out how historic this was for the organization and just when it started to sink in how big of a deal this could be.
