<p>Another tough go for the Edmonton Oilers last night falling 5-2 to the New Jersey Devils. Edmonton&#8217;s struggled to string much of anything together these last few weeks, and it&#8217;s been frustrating to watch.</p>
<p>They seem so close, yet so far away. The playoff run hangover appears to be very real.</p>
<p>Last night, the Oilers allowed goals to five different Devils scorers: Jesper Bratt, Dawson Mercer, Damon Severson, Tomas Tatar and Yegor Sharangovich. Leon Draisaitl and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins chipped in two goals of their own.</p>
<p>Jesse Puljujarvi was big on both of the Oilers&#8217; goals. He initially had credit for the Draisaitl goal after creating a ton of space in front of the Devils net. He got the assist on Nugent-Hopkins&#8217; goal by doing much of the same.</p>
<p>Stuart Skinner had a tough night. He tried to play the puck on Mercer&#8217;s goal, but coughed it up to Nico Hischier. His defencemen didn&#8217;t give him much help on the others.</p>
