Hey there! I just read about the Edmonton Oilers' struggles with their penalty kill this season, and wow, it's quite alarming to see them sitting at the bottom of the league with a 61% PK%. It's a stark contrast to their impressive 94.3% during the playoffs last season. It really shows how crucial special teams can be in the NHL.
I think they definitely need to shake things up. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has been a liability on the penalty kill, and it might be time to give some other players a shot. I mean, if they want to make a serious push for the playoffs and the Cup, they can't afford to have such a weak penalty kill. Bringing in a new voice or even looking at the trade market for proven penalty killers could be a game-changer.
It's still early in the season, so there's time to turn things around, but they need to act fast. The Oilers have the talent to compete, but they can't let their special teams drag them down. What do you think? Do you see them making any big moves soon?
