Only a handful of NHL players have scored 8 points in a game, and three of them are Oilers: Wayne Gretzky (November 19, 1983 & January 4, 1984), Paul Coffey (March 14, 1986), and Sam Gagner (February 2, 2012).

Gretzky tallied over 100 points in 16 professional seasons, 14 of them consecutive.

"The Trade", as it came to be known, upset Canadians to the extent that New Democratic Party House Leader Nelson Riis demanded the government block it, and team owner Peter Pocklington was burned in effigy outside Northlands Coliseum.

In 1993-94, Bill Ranford appeared in a career-high 71 games, winning 22 and setting a franchise record with 2,089 saves.

After the newly founded Calgary Broncos folded prior to commencement of the inaugural WHA season, the Oilers were renamed the Alberta Oilers as they planned to split their home games between Edmonton and Calgary, but the team ultimately played all of its home games in the Edmonton Gardens and changed its name back to the Edmonton Oilers the following year.

In the 48-game, shortened 2012-13 season, Devan Dubnyk finished with a 2.57 GAA and a franchise-record .921 save percentage in 14 wins and 22 losses.

In six seasons with Edmonton, Tommy Salo recorded 23 shutouts.

Twice, "The Great One" recorded ten hat tricks in a season (1981-82 & 1983-84).

Glenn Anderson had a knack for stepping up in big games. His five playoff overtime goals rank third in NHL history, while his 17 playoff game-winning goals put him fifth all-time. He is also first all-time in regular season game-winning goals in Oilers history with 72.

In 1987-88, Craig Simpson scored a career high 56 regular season goals, with 13 more in the playoffs. His 13th and final goal of that post season was set up by Wayne Gretzky and would prove to be the final point recorded by "The Great One" in an Oilers sweater.
