Another loss? Hoo boy. Here are your Wednesday hotlinks.
- The Oilers outshot Carolina mightily, but a first period that yielded three goals to Carolina is no way to start off a game. Unfortunately, that’s what happened to the Oilers last night and it was tough sledding afterwards. Carolina emerged with a 5-3 victory in Rogers Place, now the Oilers hit the road to Chicago. Patrick’s got the recap. (Copper and Blue)
Understandably, people aren’t happy with Edmonton’s fourth consecutive loss.
- “It’s 20 seconds in, they’re not reading well, they’re not playing well”. (Post-Game Raw / Edmonton Oilers)
- “This wasn’t a night that needed a game story. It was a night that required a blame story”. Terry Jones is pissed, you guys. (Edmonton Oilers fail to show up again in loss to Carolina Hurricanes / Terry Jones, Edmonton Journal)
- Leon Draisaitl’s untimely injury is a giant window of opportunity for Kailer Yamamoto (Jonathan Willis / The Athletic)
Oilers hit the road for a Thursday night matchup with the Chicago Blackhawks. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh will round out the trip. Can the club start to string some wins together?
