With less than 20 games left in the current NHL season, the Edmonton Oilers are hoping to right their sinking ship before it completely goes under.
Milan Lucic has been in a scoring slump for the past two months so No. 27 might have the biggest target on his back as the season winds down. Not only has he been left off the scoring sheet but as NHL writer Jim Matheson says, the current NHL is just too fast for Lucic.
“That’s a major problem for the Oilers, not just the general manager, but the coach and the people paying his salary because that’s a lot of money to have a player go that long without scoring a goal.”
