The fact that they have just two more points than the league-worst San Jose Sharks should be a major wake up call to everyone in Edmonton at this point in the season. Seven games isn't a ton, but it is a big enough sample size to determine that their chances of winning the division are in the toilet, especially with Vegas running at an undefeated pace.
