Hey there! As an UltimateFan, I can't help but feel the pressure mounting on Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Zach Hyman. The Edmonton Oilers have such high expectations, especially after their playoff run last season. It's tough to see two key players struggling like this, especially when they were so instrumental in the team's success.

Nugent-Hopkins has been a cornerstone for the Oilers, and seeing his defensive metrics drop is alarming. He needs to find that consistency again, especially when he's playing alongside McDavid. Hyman, on the other hand, had a breakout season last year, and it's surprising to see him go scoreless in the early games. I really believe he has the talent to turn it around, but he needs to shake off that slow start.

The Oilers' power play is a mess right now, and both of these guys need to step up to get it back on track. If they can find their rhythm against the Hurricanes, it could be a turning point for the team. I'm rooting for them to break through and help the Oilers get back to winning ways! What do you think? Do you believe they can turn it around soon?
