It's Tuesday afternoon and we're only a few hours away from the Edmonton Oilers taking on the Utah Hockey Club, which meant there was plenty to talk about on today's podcast. In today's show, we covered the Oilers' modest win streak, Leon Draisaitl's dominance, new line combinations, and much more.

We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the power play and whether it's time for Kris Knoblauch to make some changes with his personnel. As you'll hear, the boys aren't opposed to making player changes, but if Knobby doesn't want to do that, he needs more than one player shooting the puck. Despite having a laundry list of quality shooters on PP1, there are only a couple of players who are willing to fire the puck.

From there, we looked back at the Oilers' successful weekend in New York and how crucial it was that they beat both the Islanders and Rangers to wrap up their road trip. For a team that seems to be battling confidence right now, securing those four points at the end of the trip was crucial, especially with the way the L.A. Kings have really started to heat up over the last few weeks. It's amazing what a bad two-week stretch of hockey can do for the standings, right?

We also touched on the incredible run Leon Draisaitl is on right now and how his 18-game point streak is not only the longest in the NHL this season but the longest of his career. No matter how well or poorly the team has played this season, the one constant has been Draisaitl's dominance on a nightly basis. In even better news, it looks like Connor McDavid is also starting to heat up after sniping a beautiful shot past Igor Shesterkin on Sunday at Madison Square Garden.

Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with a random collection of topics, including some betting talk ahead of Tuesday's matchup vs. Utah, what the Oilers need to do on their home stand, and much more. Needless to say, the guys always have plenty to talk about when the Oilers are battling to get back to the consistency that saw them be one of the best teams in the NHL for a 30-game stretch.
