Edmonton Oilers: D
The Oilers have 10 victories. Just five of them have come in regulation. Only once have they won by multiple goals without the aid of empty-netters. They’ve allowed the most goals in the league. They get some leniency here because 16 of their 25 games have come away from Edmonton and they’ve had injuries to key players Zach Hyman, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jake Walman. Otherwise, it’s been a disastrous start. — Daniel Nugent-Bowman
