15 games into the 2018-19 NHL season, the Edmonton Oilers have steadied the ship after a rocky start. Wins against perennial Stanley Cup contenders have given fans optimism of a playoff run late into June. An area that needs improvement is the teams secondary scoring.
Connor McDavid, Ryan Nugent- Hopkins, and Leon Draisaitl have done what is expected of them up to this point, but the rest of the forwards haven’t. Defenceman Oscar Klefbom is currently fourth in team scoring with 8 points in 15 games. Tobias Rieder is fourth in scoring amongst the forwards with just 7 points in 15 games, zero goals.
