EDMONTON - Jordan Eberle has never been alive this late in a season.
And it feels great, especially after being dead and buried just 10 days ago.
“It’s amazing how things can change,” said the Oilers winger, after he and Lennart Petrell scored third period goals in a 3-2 win over the Nashville Predators that extended the Oilers points streak to four games (3-0-1) and closed the gap on eighth place to two points.
“Five games ago it looked like we were out of the playoff picture and now we’re right back in it. Two points? We’re right back in it.
“I haven’t been in this situation in March before. It’s exciting.”
