Riding a 3-game win streak, it could have been number 4 for the Edmonton Oilers. Facing off against one of the worst teams in the league and seeing how well the Oilers have looked lately, this game should have been in the winning bag.
It was supposed to be a battle between the two superstars, Connor McDavid versus Jack Eichel. What transpired last night is what has exactly been happening throughout the season, a nightmare masquerading as ugly losses.
The demons we all thought the Oilers exorcised the last few games evaporated in less than 20 minutes.
