Edmonton Oilers
Edmonton was successful in their last game, defeating the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-0 with strong performances from Viktor Arvidsson, Mattias Ekholm, and Evan Bouchard. Stuart Skinner had a perfect game in the net, stopping all 27 shots faced. Despite their recent victory, the Oilers have struggled on offense this season, scoring two or fewer goals in five of their first eight games and ranking 31st in goals per game. The defense has been more solid, but goaltending has been an issue with both Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard having less than stellar numbers. Overall, Edmonton is ranked 31st in offense, 20th in defense, and currently holds a 8-2 record this season.
