Not only is their offence struggling, but their defence is not having the best start to the year, either. The Oilers surrender an average 3.3 goals per game, and their 70.1 percent success on the penalty-kill is the second-worst in the NHL.
Ultimately, not only are the Oilers failing to impress, but their defence is lacking. Therefore, they may want to consider recalling Ethan Bear from the Bakersfield Condors.
Ethan Bear So Far
The 20-year-old has been outstanding with the Condors so far this season. He leads all Bakersfield skaters with two goals and five points through seven games this season and is a plus-4.
