Edmonton Oilers: Mark Letestu Looks a Lot Better to Start 2016-17

Because of injuries to Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Connor McDavid, Letestu had to step up as the third-line and second-line centre. It appeared that he couldn’t exactly match-up with the high stakes role, and in the end, he proved to struggle. Despite putting up 10 goals and 25 points last season, Letestu was a minus-1 and posted a -5.6 relative Corsi. Not to mention, Letestu appeared to worsen his teammates’ performance.

This year, Letestu is taking steps to improve and is trying to put the past behind him. So far, he’s doing a decent job. Riding a three-game point streak, Letestu looks a lot better to start the 2016-17 campaign.
