Anders Nilsson skated to the bench, received a hug from Cam Talbot and sat down with the rest of his teammates on the bench Friday night. He surrounded six goals on 17 shots and was done for the night. However, Anders the Giant was not the only one at fault. He was left out to dry by his the Edmonton Oilers defense.
It’s obvious the Oil is struggling when it comes to defense. This is confirmed with the 7-4 loss to the Washington Capitals. Justin Schultz has been better, but he hasn’t been spectacular and continues making mistakes.
