Current Form & Standings (as of Dec 20):- Golden Knights (approx. 16-6-10, ~42 points): Riding a strong December hot streak (historically dominant in the month), on an extended point streak with resilient road play. Balanced attack led by Jack Eichel, Mark Stone (point-per-game since return), and depth scoring. Strong special teams and goaltending depth.
- Oilers (17-13-6 or similar, ~40 points): Surging lately (6-2-1 in last 9 before a recent 5-2 loss to Minnesota), powered by Connor McDavid's blistering December (explosive goals/assists) and a lethal power play (2nd in NHL).
