The Oilers surrendered four goals in a loss to the Flames in what was their final game before the NHL goes on a temporary hiatus for the Milan Cortina Games. It was the third straight game in which they’d surrendered four or more goals, and seventh straight game in which they’ve conceded three-plus.
After Wednesday’s 4–3 loss, Leon Draisaitl spoke to reporters, and he got brutally honest on the state of the team, not hesitating to criticize the play of the defense, the goalies and even suggesting the coaches needed to improve.
