Yeah but Vegas is INCREDIBLEY beat up. Both Pacioretty and Mark Stone on LTIR
Stone had the most points last year at 61 Pacioretty was #2 with 51 points
Martinez has been day to day since the 19th he had 32 points last year
Alex Tuch is on LTIR 33 points last year
So if you are using Vegas as a measuring stick you could be in for a surprise.
Imagine how the oilers would be doing if McDavid and Draisitle were on IR and then Nugent Hopkins and Nurse were out of your lineup at the same time. That is essentially what the Vegas situation is like currently and when the Oilers played them.
