.800 from Jarry, 4 in the third and a complete collapse overall.
Game one back from a break I hope, but not exactly confidence inspiring.

They played pretty well. Goaltending was catastrophic, and that continues to be a worry.
They legitimately might not make the playoffs.

For everyone who complained about Skinner...he wasn't the problem.
Two straight Cup finals with him as the goalie.

No, Skinner was a problem. The issue is that Jarry wasn’t the answer. People called him the Skinner of the east for a reason. Last night specifically, was a goaltending problem. Anaheim scored 6 goals on something like 2.5 expected. Oilers skaters played fine last night.

Much better defense by the Oilers!

What a rollercoaster ride.
#2 in team scoring, but only 1/6 teams with 200+ against.

Paul Coffey is now back as the defense coach. I reckon it was that game vs The Ducks when he saw what needed fixing.

LA has the second worst offence in the league and gave up half way through the game.
Glad Coffey is back though and that we were able to end our 4 game losing streak.

Although a similar record to the Oilers, the Florida Panthers are currently 8 points out of a playoff spot in the East Conference. I would not be upset to see them not make the playoffs.

Knob changed some things over the Olympic break which is making an immediate impact. I suspect Coffey has some to do with that as well. Shorter breakout passes, more support down low from the centres, much more activation from the D, less (really zero other than on PPs) reliance on 97 & 29 together. Get some saves and they’re looking good!

With the loss today, Oilers are 1-5 in their last 6 games.
With upcoming trade deadline, the next week will be interesting.
