Though the Edmonton Oilers are 2-0 to start the season, there is still a lot of room for improvement.
One area the team needs to strengthen in is on the man advantage. Through their first two games, the Oilers have been given 10 power-play opportunities. They’ve only cashed in three times, once in their opener and twice Friday.
Given their talent, Edmonton has the potential to take full advantage of the power play. If they do, not only will they lead, they have a better chance of winning and starting stronger.
“You’ve got to be in and around the net and grease one out,” Jordan Eberle said of the power-play after Saturday’s practice.
