High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 2002-03 Edmonton Oilers season was the Oilers' 24th season in the NHL, and they were coming off a 38-28 12-34 record in 2001-02, earning 92 points, however, they missed the playoffs for the first time since 1996, finishing in 9th place in the Western Conference. The Oilers would get off to a slow start, winning only 1 of their first 7 games, going 1-4, however, the club would turn around the tough start and move above the .500 mark on November 25, and never go below again for the remainder of the season. As the trade deadline approached in mid-March, and the club comfortably in a playoff position, Edmonton would make a couple of deals, trading defenceman Janne Niinimaa and a 2nd round draft pick in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft to the New York Islanders in exchange for Brad Isbister and prospect Raffi Torres. The Oilers would also trade Anson Carter and Ales Pisa to the New York Rangers for Radek Dvorak and Cory Cross. Edmonton would finish the season with a 36-26 11-9 record, earning 92 points, the same amount as the previous season, and clinch the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
