| The kids here obviously do not know what it means to quit because Edmonton has gone 13-4-1 during the past five weeks, but it might not be enough to get them into playoffs. |

| Sam Gagner is getting lost in the shuffle when it comes to top rookies this season, but he has been effective for the Oilers, especially lately with his 18 points in his past 12 games. |

| Too little, too late for the Oilers, who can be serious spoilers down the stretch with the way they're playing. Edmonton has won nine of its past 11. |
