“The 41-30-11 Edmonton Oilers are the Pacific’s No. 2 seed after back-to-back Stanley Cup appearances.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search result mentions the Oilers finished 41-30-11 and were the No. 2 seed after two consecutive Stanley Cup Final appearances. However, other sources provide different records (e.g., 93 points for the 2026 playoffs). Since the specific record (41-30-11) and the context (two consecutive Finals) are only stated in one web search result, it cannot be corroborated.
