Scoring By Forwards: Last Ten Games
What follows is a list of Oilers’ forwards and their offensive production over their last ten games.Some caveats first: everybody gets cold, so this isn't intended to make any grand statements about the players listed, just show slumps/hot streaks.
There's lots of interesting stuff here, though - the top name and bottom three names on the list, and where the fourth line slot in all jumped out at me.
Sam Gagner: 4G – 4A – 8PTS, +5
Ales Hemsky: 3G – 3A – 6PTS, EV
Shawn Horcoff: 1G – 5A – 6PTS, -3
Andrew Cogliano: 3G – 2A – 5PTS, +3
Zack Stortini: 2G – 2A – 4PTS, +2
Kyle Brodziak: 2G – 2A – 4PTS, +2
Liam Reddox: 1G – 3A – 4PTS, +2
Fernando Pisani*: 1G – 3A – 4PTS, +1
Marc Pouliot: 1G – 2A – 3PTS, +2
Patrick O’Sullivan: 1G – 2A – 3PTS, -2
Robert Nilsson: 2G – 0A – 2PTS, +2
Ethan Moreau: 0G – 2A – 2PTS, +1
Ales Kotalik: 1G – 1A – 2PTS, -4
Dustin Penner: 0G – 0A – 0PTS, +3
To make it fair (so that everybody had ten games) I used each player’s last ten games rather than the last ten games the Oilers have played. The asterix on Fernando Pisani’s name indicates that 2 of his 10 games came before his recent injury.
Oh, and over at OilersNation I discuss the penalty kill and take shots at the print media.

After watching the Oilers' lacklustre performances in the two games since he got yanked -- uninspired home losses to sadsack Atlanta and Colorado -- I can only hope he's back in there sooner rather than later.

Yeah, I don't get it at all. J-F Jacques showed well in his three games, too. I'd be happy with:
O'Sullivan - Horcoff - Hemsky
Nilsson - Gagner - Penner
Brodziak - Cogliano - Pisani
Moreau - Pouliot - Stortini
or something like that; sub Nilsson out, put Pouliot there as needed and dress Jacques/Reddox/Kotalik.
If Kotalik isn't producing on the powerplay, he isn't a top-12 forward on this team, IMO.
It's not going to happen though; the optics are all wrong.
