After Sunday’s mediocre performance in the 6-2 loss to Buffalo, the Edmonton Oilers are determined to move on. And with that determination comes about change.
The team skated Tuesday in preparation for their game against the Hurricanes, and their lineup will look different against Carolina.
“We’re going to push our group right now and see if they can take gradual steps upwards,” head coach Todd McLellan said.
