Edmonton Oilers surpassed expectations.
Latest Hockey News – The 2011-12 Edmonton Oilers surpassed expectations in a variety of ways. First, they reached the playoffs for the first time since they were acquired from the Edmonton Investors Group in 2008. They also finished third in the Smythe Division and finished with 82 points.

Despite an inconsistent start to the season, Yamamoto has steadily improved since the end of December. Although his forechecking and micro-defensive stats have declined from last year’s, he’s still a solid sixth forward on the Edmonton Oilers. Despite his lack of offensive skill, he’s the best in the bottom six of the team.
