Edmonton Oilers in Crisis, Tied for NHL's Lowest Points as Seattle Kraken Await

Key players underperforming, coach's job security questioned as team struggles to regain footing

The Edmonton Oilers are currently tied for the lowest points in the NHL, following a 3-2 loss against the San Jose Sharks, a team that had previously lost its first 11 games of the season.
Key players, including Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, are underperforming, with McDavid not scoring in the past seven games and Draisaitl only scoring once in his past nine outings.
The team's coach, Jay Woodcroft, is facing questions about his job security after the team's poor performance, despite his assertion that the team needs to focus on improving rather than worrying about the standings.
The Oilers' goaltending has been a significant issue, with the team having the worst save percentage in the NHL. High-priced goaltender Jack Campbell was recently sent down to the American Hockey League in an attempt to send a message to the team.
The Oilers' next game is against the Seattle Kraken, a team that has been performing well recently, with a 3-1-1 record in their past five games. This adds further pressure on the Oilers to improve their performance.
