Key Contributors Toward Edmonton Oilers Playoff Chances

• Connor McDavid - The NHL's most dynamic offensive player, he should play with extra motivation this season, coming off a Game 7 loss to the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Despite the loss to Florida, McDavid was the Conn Smythe Trophy winner as the NHL playoffs MVP.
• Leon Draisaitl - The league's seventh-leading scorer last season (106 points), Draisaitl recently signed a huge contract extension with the Oilers. If the Oilers are to win the Stanley Cup, he'll need to have another big season.
• Stuart Skinner - The Oilers have had problems in net much of the recent past, but they got a strong playoff showing from Skinner and have high hopes he'll be even better in the regular season and beyond.

Edmonton Oilers Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths:

• Top-2 centers - In McDavid and Draisaitl, the Oilers have the most explosive 1-2 punch up the middle in the NHL.
• Power play - Not only are McDavid and Draisaitl on the top PP unit, forward Zach Hyman is coming off a 54-goal season. Add in Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and defenseman Evan Bouchard, and you have one very-good power play.
• Faceoffs/puck possession - The Oilers were fifth in the league last season in faceoff-winning percentage (53.2). Getting the puck first is a key to scoring goals, especially in power-play situations.

Weaknesses:

• Penalty killing - The Oilers were 15th in the NHL in killing penalties last season, at 79.5%. That number needs to improve.
• Defensive depth - Edmonton lost solid defenseman Philip Broberg to a predatory offer sheet from the Blues, which hurt a defense that already was a bit thin in their bottom three.
• Is Skinner a true No. 1? - Stuart Skinner won 36 games last season, and was strong in the playoffs. But his regular-season save percentage (.905) and goals-against average (.964) were modest. He needs to up those numbers if the Oilers want to win it all.
