What It Means:

The Oilers are flying. They've won six consecutive games. Eberle assisted on the Oilers' dramatic OT goal by Andrej Sekera, his third of the season. Also scoring for Edmonton in this one was Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, his eighth of the campaign. The Oilers were ahead 2-0 after the first period but the Bruins came back to tie the game before Sekera's goal. The Bruins outshot the Oilers 18-3 in the second period.

After averaging 64 points per year over the last two seasons, Eberle is behind that pace this year. He has seven goals and three assists through 18 games. We project him to record 28 more points (13 goals and 15 assists) over the final 44 games, which would give him 38 for the season.
