Well Oilers fans, here we are at a .500 record, and the sentiment around the team is slowly shifting to a positive one.

With that being said, right now, the Oilers are 4-0-0 on the season whenever there's a fight in the game. Today's fisticuffs came from Corey Perry dropping the gloves with Joe Veleno when the Oilers were down by a goal, and it clearly ignited the team.

In fact, every time the Oilers fight it seems to ignore the team - it's shown by their perfect record! Troy Stecher started it this season with his fight against Flyers Captain Sean Couturier. Darnell Nurse followed it up the next game with a fight against Michael McCarron in the Oilers win over the Nashville Predators.

The Oilers had an impressive showing against the Detroit Red Wings last night, coming back from a 2-1 deficit to win the game in overtime. Although the Edmonton Oilers aren't necessarily known to be the kind that had enforcers or «goons», players like Darnell Nurse and Corey Perry have been kicking a**, rag-dolling their opponents all over the ice.

For now it's obviously just a fun coincidence that the Oilers are undefeated every time they fight, but hey, if it's a trend that continues, why not bring in an enforcer to play somewhere in the bottom six. Perhaps it's a way for Josh Brown to find his way back to the NHL roster. As long as the trend keeps up, the Oilers should just keep dropping the gloves!
