Scoring has been anything but easy over the last eight games for the Oilers. They have allowed early goals against, which have led to tough games of catch-up, putting even more stress on the offense’s shoulders.
With four goals so far, Patrick Maroon leads the Oilers in the goal-scoring department. The next leading goal scorers are Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Tyler Pitlick with two goals each. Though these seem like strong numbers, Eberle’s two goals came in one game, and Nugent-Hopkins’ tallies have come off the power-play.
In November, if you take away the game against Pittsburgh, the only Oilers to score at even strength are Maroon, Pitlick, Andrej Sekera, Darnell Nurse, Anton Lander and Adam Larsson.
