The Edmonton Oilers may have started the season with two losses to the Vancouver Canucks, but there are still some positives to take away from their performance. Here are three reasons why Oilers fans should not be too worried just yet.
Edmonton Oilers Offensive Game Got Better
The team has shown some promising offensive play. Despite failing to secure a win in their opening two games, the Oilers have managed to score a total of seven goals. This suggests that the team’s offensive capabilities are still strong and that they have the potential to outscore their opponents in future games.
The Stars Are Shining
The Oilers have some standout players who have performed well in the first two games. Connor McDavid has already scored 1 goal and two assists and is showing that he is in excellent form. Additionally, Leon Draisaitl has also been a key player, scoring two goals and providing one assist as well. These performances indicate that the team’s star players are firing so far this season.
The Season Is 82 Games Long
It is worth noting that the season is still in its early stages. There is plenty of time for the Edmonton Oilers to improve and bounce back from their two opening losses. In fact, starting the season with a few losses can sometimes be a good thing, as it can motivate the team to work harder and make improvements in their play.
Overall, while losing the first two games of the season is never ideal, there are still some positives to take away from the Edmonton Oilers performances so far. As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how the team continues to develop and whether they can turn their fortunes around.
The Edmonton Oilers continue their season this coming Tuesday as they start their first road trip of the year. They will be in Nashville to take on the Predators with the puck drop being at 6:00 PM MST.
