We&#8217;re back to two episodes of Oilersnation Radio per week, and unfortunately, that meant we had to spend the Tuesday episode of the podcast talking about why the Oilers can&#8217;t seem to score goals right now.
We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Stuart Skinner and whether or not the hate he&#8217;s getting online is deserved. While there&#8217;s no doubt that Skinner needs to be better, there&#8217;s also an argument to be made about how the skaters in front of him aren&#8217;t playing their best either. The more significant point for all of us, however, is that it&#8217;s tough to win hockey games when you don&#8217;t score goals.
Changing gears, we reviewed the news from this past week, including Knoblauch&#8217;s new line combos, key players&#8217; lack of scoring, and the Oilers&#8217; special teams. Starting with the lack of power play success, we looked at what the Oilers might change tactically to try and get back on top. Outside of changing up the personnel, would it make sense for the Oilers&#8217; to simplify the approach a little bit with more shots and crashing the crease? We also looked at the scoring totals and how there are some key players without having any points on the board. Are the goals coming, or are we looking at a cold streak we think will continue?
Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio with a game preview ahead of <a href="https://oilersnation.com/news/oilers-game-notes-7-0-edmonton-returns-home-to-face-carolina">Tuesday&#8217;s matchup with the Hurricanes</a>, and offered up our keys to victory for how the Oilers can lock in their third win of the season. We then wrapped up the show some betting talk ahead of <a href="https://oilersnation.com/news/gdb-7-0-oilers-have-many-areas-to-improve-7pm-mt-snw">tonight&#8217;s game</a>. Despite losing their last game against Dallas, the Oilers are favoured against Carolina, and we took our best guesses at the betting lines ahead of what will be a pivotal matchup.
