Edmonton Oilers: Is Eberle a Scapegoat for Lack of Offense

Last season, it was Justin Schultz, and now, Jordan Eberle is being blamed for the team’s woes, especially on offense. Sure, he is putting up inconsistent numbers and does appear sluggish at times on the rush. However, is he the one to blame for the Oilers inability to score?

Eberle’s Stats

In 32 games this season, Eberle has just eight goals and 23 points. He is also a minus-5, yet puts up strong possession metrics with a 3.0 relative Fenwick. One aspect, however, that is concerning regarding Eberle’s play is his amount of shots.

The Canadian winger has 85 shots on net but has had 160 total attempts on goal.
