The Edmonton Oilers faced a disappointing start to their season, suffering a 6-0 defeat against the Winnipeg Jets at home. TSN's Craig Button highlighted a concerning lack of urgency and poor defensive play, noting that the team's blue line is not up to par compared to last season's playoff run.
Despite high expectations, the Oilers struggled in all areas, with Connor McDavid failing to register a shot on net. Analysts pointed out that the goaltending and overall team performance fell short, raising questions about their defensive capabilities moving forward.
