The Edmonton Oilers are looking like they're derailing from any such aspirations.

At this rate, they’d be lucky to finish above the500 mark.

But if anyone can get back on track, it’s the same team that started out 2 -9-1 a year ago .

This roster isn’t quite the same one that specialized in resiliency and overcoming the odds.

Leon Draisaitl leads the team with 24 points in 19 games heading into Tuesday ’s game against the Ottawa Senators ( 5 p.m. , Sportsnet West, TSN5) The penalty kill is one spot out of last place, going 33 -for-49 for 67.4 per cent .

The Oilers gave the St. Louis Blues a little of their own medicine, claiming Kasperi Kapanen off waivers Tuesday .
