CBC Radio Active: Time for the Oilers to get going

Joined host Jessica Ng on CBC Radio Active this afternoon to preview the Edmonton Oilers game three match against the Florida Panthers. Full segment is here: CBC Radio Active (2024, June 12)

Topics we covered:

  • The Oilers issues generating offence so far, and how the Panthers have been able to slow them down at even-strength and the powerplay.
  • The overall play of Stuart Skinner, who is posting an abysmal 85% save percentage against Florida, well below the league average levels (~91%). Skinner needs to be league-average for the Oilers to have a chance this series.
  • What the Oilers need to address to increase their odds of winning game three and four at home, including looking for favorable matchups with last change on home ice.
  • Reasons for optimism that the Oilers can get themselves out of this current hole.

Thanks again to the team at CBC Edmonton for putting this all together!
