Edmonton Oilers are tied for last in the league with 0 standings points.

Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have played 13 minutes together, during which time the Oilers have fired 23 shots towards the opposing net, while their competition has managed a measly 4 shot attempts in response.

The Nuclear Option is, in theory, a choice of last resort, but a pretty strong case can be made that the Oilers are there already.

He’s struggled mightily to get his shots through, with just 4 on goal to this point compared to a shocking 19 which have been blocked. No surprise that Knoblauch has returned to Stu Skinner in the pipes. The Oilers # 1 man delivered a decent name in net against Calgary on Sunday after both he and backup Calvin Pickard both struggled mightily in their respective first starts. More to come..
