Despite two first period goals courtesy of Connor McDavid and Adam Larsson, the Oilers couldn’t hold onto the lead, or extend it. Beyond that, the Oilers made a couple of mistakes that eventually cost them the game.
Jordan Eberle and Missed Opportunities
One issue that plagued the Oilers throughout the game involved one of their top wingers. Despite picture-perfect passes from McDavid, Eberle missed the puck, fanned on his shots or missed the net.
For a player that is looking to prove his potential as a top line, elite NHL winger, Eberle did not look the part Friday.
