A closer look at the Oilers’ penalty kill struggles

The Edmonton Oilers are facing a significant penalty kill crisis, having killed off only 54 percent of their penalties in the last eight games, ranking them 27th in the NHL. The decline in their penalty kill performance is attributed to personnel losses and a recent shift in their defensive system, leading to increased vulnerability against opposing power plays.
