After an atrocious start, the Edmonton Oilers have set an all-time record for consecutive wins by a Canadian National Hockey League team, leaving fans excited and pundits wondering if the excellence will last the rest of the season.
The Edmonton Oilers won their 13th straight game in a 3–1 decision against Calgary Jan. 20, one better than the 12 straight wins by Montreal in 1967–'68 on the way to a Stanley Cup-winning season. The Oilers’ feat marked an incredible turnaround from their first 12 games when they suffered 10 losses.
