Edmonton

December was a great month for Edmonton. In 13 games, the Oilers won nine and lost four, with one of the losses coming outside of regulation time. So, the team has added 19 points to their record, which has them in fifth place in the Western Conference standings. The Oilers are now just three points away from the top three. In their last game, they played away against Anaheim and surprisingly lost by two goals (3:5).

Utah

In December, Utah also looked good and was even close to the cup eight, but a week before the end of the month the system broke down. So, the rookie suffered four defeats in a row: 4:5 to Anaheim, 2:3 to Dallas, 1:4 to Utah, and 2:5 to Seattle. This meant that in the Western Conference standings, Andre Tourigny's team got worse. They dropped to tenth position, and the gap to the playoff zone increased to four points.
