The Edmonton Oilers started with a bitter defeat at the beginning of the new NHL season. The team around Leon Draisaitl, which was still in the Stanley Cup final in the last season, had to give up the Winnipeg Jets 0: 6. This result disappointed, especially in front of their own audience, where the Oilers had hoped for a positive start of the season.

The game began in the 15th minute with a goal from Adam Lory, which brought the jets in the lead.

The star-occupied squad of the Oilers, including the NHL superstars Draisaitl and Connor McDavid, seemed pale and without ideas. Draisaitl, who signed a record-breaking contract for this season and is now the best-paid player in the league at $ 14 million a year, was unable to stage his teammates. The entire team only reached three shots on goal, an alarming statistics that raise doubts about their form.

The Oilers thus start under similar signs as in the previous year. Even then there was a catastrophic opening loss with 1: 8 against the Vancouver Canucks. Despite this weak initial phase, the team found back on track and ultimately managed to qualify for the playoffs. The question remains whether the players can develop similarly this season to achieve their season goals.

News about the Edmonton Oilers and the developments in the NHL are still being pursued in an exciting way, especially how the team presents themselves in the upcoming games and whether they can learn from this specific bankruptcy. The fans hope for a rapid turn in the course of the season after the signs seemed cheap for a successful season.
