Oilers Power Play: Focus Ahead of Next Match
The Edmonton Oilers are heading into their next match with a renewed focus on their power play. It's no secret that their man-advantage has been a bit of a rollercoaster this season, sometimes sizzling hot, other times ice cold. But the team knows that a dominant power play can be the difference between a win and a loss, especially in a tight game.
The Need for Consistency

The biggest issue? Consistency.
The Oilers need to find a way to bring that same intensity and execution to every power play opportunity. They can't afford to take nights off when they have the man advantage.
What's the Plan?

Looking Forward
