Oilers Thoughts: The kids need consistency, Nurse needs Walman

Tuesday night against Utah was the first time in roughly nine games that I felt like the Oilers gave us a glimpse of their “A” game.

We really haven’t seen them reach that level since their win over the Vancouver Canucks back on October 11. Since then, they’ve had three other victories, but none of those wins were exactly masterpieces.

The win over the New York Rangers only happened because Stuart Skinner stole the show. The win over the Ottawa Senators featured a sloppy third period and long stretches where they couldn’t generate any offense. The win over the Montreal Canadiens came because their power play got enough chances to overcome a two-goal deficit.

Now, there will be plenty of games throughout the season where the power play or goaltending will win them........
