The Oilers have been outscored 8-2 over the last two games, and Cam Talbot has been left out to dry. Not only that, the pairings aren’t showing much chemistry, and given the team’s two-game skid, it may be time for a change.
Head coach Todd McLellan said that defenceman Yohann Auvitu will likely get a chance to jump into action Saturday against Ottawa. The 28-year-old has been the team’s extra defender to start the season, but given their start, he deserves a chance to prove his worth.
