Oilers playing terrible hockey
This has been a down part to the Oilers season. They have now lost six of their last seven games after an embarrassing 6-2 home loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday. A primary issue at this time for the Oilers is horrible defensive structure. On Tuesday, we saw Leon Draisaitl make a key mistake in behind the Oilers net, and Connor McDavid not living up to expectations.
