; watching Gretzky celebrate the milestone was tough on his former Oilers' teammates, who felt they should have been the ones celebrating with him. These incidents, combined with weak defensive play and penalty killing, combined to put the Oilers on a slide early in the season, and they reached the quarter-mark of the season with a 6–9–5 record, which sat them in last place in the Smythe Division. To make matters worse, Fuhr, who returned from his appendectomy, injured his shoulder and was sidelined again. The one bright spot on the team was forward

in 2017. As the second half of the season got underway, the Oilers entered a mid-season slump.

One notable achievement came on January 2 in a game against the

on February 6, forcing third-string goaltender Pokey Reddick into service. The club also made use of minor league goalies Randy Exelby and Mike Greenlay at this time. On February 25, the Oilers lost to their provincial rivals, the Flames, by a lopsided score of 10–4. The loss put the Oilers in an unfriendly mood, and during their next game in Los Angeles on February 28, the teams combined for a then-NHL record 86 penalties, mostly in fighting majors, in a 4–2 Edmonton loss. Incidents in the game drew the ire of commentators and even earned negative commentary from the NHL's head office. In the second last game of the season against Calgary, Grant Fuhr re-injured his bad shoulder and had to sit out for the entire playoffs. The team finished the last quarter of the season with a 10–8–2 record: the Oilers finished the season with a record of 38–28–14, good for 2nd place in the Smythe Division and 5th place overall in the NHL. Owing to the team's fierceness at varying points in the season, culminating with the brawl in Los Angeles, the Oilers were the most penalized team in the NHL for the first time in team history.

This started speculation that the Oilers could not win without Wayne Gretzky. In Game Five in Edmonton, the Jets built up a 3–1 lead in the second period, and the Oilers' season appeared to be over. However, late in the second period, the Jets had back-to-back breakaways on the same shift, and goalie Bill Ranford stopped them both. After the second breakaway, the Oilers immediately transitioned to offence, and Craig Simpson scored to make it 3–2. Seconds later, the Oilers scored again to tie the game 3–3 heading to intermission. Messier scored the winner in the third period for a 4–3 Edmonton win. In Game Six in Winnipeg, The Oilers pulled out another 4–3 victory to tie the series. Kurri scored the winner on a slapshot from the right faceoff circle late in the third period.
