Oilers Seek End to Five-Game Losing Streak Against Hurricanes

The Edmonton Oilers are struggling, currently on a five-game losing streak, their worst since the 2021-2022 season. In a recent performance, they were outscored 21-10 during a road trip, with notable issues in goal and defensive play. Players like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have not been able to lift the team during this slump, raising concerns about the team's dynamics and urgency for changes before the trade deadline. Tonight, they face the Carolina Hurricanes, who are also looking for consistency after a mixed performance in their last ten games. The Oilers hope to turn things around and capitalize on the Hurricanes' unstable goaltending. Despite the challenges, some analysts believe McDavid is due for a breakout performance against a struggling opponent.
