Oilersnation Everyday: Are the Oilers getting unlucky?

It has been a rocky start to the 2022-23 season for the Edmonton Oilers. With losses to the Calgary Flames and Buffalo Sabres, they now sit one game below 500 three games into the season. They have a chance to get back to level playing ground tonight when they host the Carolina Hurricanes.

The Hurricanes have had a perfect start to the season with wins over the Columbus Blue Jackets, San Jose Sharks, and Seattle Kraken. They have also outscored their opponents 11 to 3. Tonight is a tough match for the Oilers who have struggled to start games allowing the other team to score first in all three games. However, have the Oilers been a little unlucky to start the year? They had some tough breaks against Calgary, the Brett Kulak fall, and then ran into a hot goaltender versus Buffalo in Eric Comrie. Perhaps tonight is the night that misfortune changes.

Like every game day, Jay Downton joins the show for the Sherwood Ford Giant Pre-Game Show. He will give us his take on what he thought of the team’s last performance, what he expects to see tonight, and of course, a little bit of betting talk. You can expect all of that and more on Oilersnation Everyday with Tyler Yaremchuk.
