The Edmonton Oilers face early season struggles, starting with three consecutive home losses, raising concerns among fans and management. New GM Stan Bowman must assess whether this is a hangover from last year's Stanley Cup final loss or just a slow start.

Key players like Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman have yet to score, while goaltender Stuart Skinner has struggled. Despite their offensive potential, the team must address vulnerabilities as they aim for a turnaround similar to last season.
